St. Thomas 4.

[[left margin note]] X-21-35 [[/margin note]] Not being sure whether our boat, the Nerissa, leaves today or tomorrow, we couldn't plan anything for today. The agent says it will not be till tomorrow, so this afternoon I'll try to get out somewhere. We went down to Mr. Taylor's shop, and bought some postcards. We also left some films to be developed. Then we went down to the Harbour Office, where Capt. Simmons sold us a U.S.P. & G.S. map of St. Thomas, and one of St. Croix for 25¢ each. They are nice maps. He told us that the government launch goes to St. John every two weeks, and one can go over in the morning, spend all day (8 to 4) and catch the launch returning.

#28. (Ruined because the rear lens of camera rattled loose. Next picture also scratched.)
#29. Taken for clouds, from road just west of Santiago. Sept. 7, 1935. This picture was taken after I had readjusted the rear lens, but after the [[strikethrough]] lens [[/strikethrough]] negative had been scratched.
#30. St. Thomas; The town and harbour. From 600 feet above the town to the north. October 20, 1935. The rear lens is apparently getting loose again. This picture was exposed for the sea and sky,--therefore overexposed.
In the afternoon we walked through town and out about a mile to a pasture on the old racetrack. This was

St. Thomas, V.I. Flying to light in the Taylor's 1829 Hotel. Quite a few ^[[(30)]] [[insertion written in pencil]] Staphs, as well as Scarabs, an Aedemerid, and various other small things.

Found out the boat leaves tomorrow noon. Our three-day stop here hasn't resulted in many specimens, tho it wasn't expected to.
