[[underlined]] March 27, Tuesday.  Still bright & clear [[/underlined]]

At 9 went by old hospital to see Dr. again, [[strikethrough]] but [[/strikethrough]] found he'd gone up to new hospital, so after waiting about 15 minutes and learning that we could not miss him (only one rd to new hospital) we thought we'd take a look at new while waiting.  Saw his car parked there so started to look around first thing we bumped into him.  He looked at leg again which he said looked improved but ordered another shot of penicillin for which he gave me an order on nurse at old hospital.  So back we went, did some more shopping for grub on ship.  Called on Catholic sisters to check order & add on small mat.  Stopped by bakery in what seemed to be residence, where stout colored woman, sold me couple of small loaves (for cookies) of sugar cookie mix, or rather taste.  Were a change with tea but our cook does better, makes a very creditable apple pie too.  What this colored man cook of ours can't do in the little cramped galley he has to work in.  Had a very wonderful piece of roast beef, only cut like that this trip (after Martinique.)  Haven't had as much fish as I'd hoped but we've had spiny lobster 3 times and frogs, the big ones that live on Dominica, and are there called "mountain chicken".
