Went over to Kilindini and on board the "Prinzessin" where we found a haircut. I never have mine cut on top now,- only in back and over the ears [[ strikethrough]] years [[/strikethrough]], I mean. 

The evening was beautiful. The tints of the moonrise, on the way back, and then the full moon itself - a bush-fire on the mainland, with the palms silhouetted against the flames - all were indescribably beautiful.

My next full moon is waiting for me over on the other side of Afrikee!

Again to the Horspittle to see Watson. He goeth to Kijabe Friday, and would that I might go with him!
