[[left margin note]] XII-16-35 [[end margin note]] Went to office of French Line and was informed that bad weather had delayed the Flandre a day "Come  back tomorrow"!
Spent the rest of the day at home writing cards and yesterday's notes. In the evening we went to the Globe Theater to see "upper World." Decided it had been cut.
[[left margin note]] XII-17-35 [[end margin note]] Flandre arrived. The agent tried to tell me it had [[strikeout]]to [[/strikeout]] no cargo from Puerto Rico, but when I got him to look again he found it. I had to sign a release and get a permission to get the motor, and then went to the warehouse. The cargo wasn't yet landed, but the clerk sent a man with me to get the Customs matters fixed. I paid a deposit of $45.00. Then the man wanted a tip for his services--he had been unwanted but of some help. I gave him a shilling,  but he said he expected a dollar. He didn't get it!

[[underline]]Station 101. [[/underline]]
About one mile northeast of Port of Spain on the St. Ann's River road. One large coconut-palm weevil flying.
Just after I got home Pound phoned to ask me to go out with him all-day tomorrow. I had no excuse, so I accepted, for 6:45 A.M!
  Ruth left at nine this morning with Mrs. Adamson for a trip to Gasparee Island in the Bocas. They spent the day with Mrs. Wharton and [[strikeout]] [[?]] [[/strikeout]] apparently had a fine time. They didn't get home until after six. No bugs or 12-inch centipedes accompanied them home!
