Grenada 1.

[[margin]] I-8-36 [[/margin]] Arrived at St. Georges, Grenada about 6 A.M. The immigration officers came aboard at 6:30, and we had to wait from them till 7:30 for breakfast. At 8 we got into the launch, and after considerable waiting and turning back, finally got to shore. About 6:15 the steward had delivered to me a note to me from the manager of the Home Hotel saying that the porter would be at our service. When I got up on deck, the porter, Cromwell by name, came around, but I said wasn't sure where we would go. Later the manager himself, Mr. Jackson, came to see us, and said he had heard from Danforth and wanted very much to have us come to his hotel. We let him take our luggage and decided to go first to see his place. When we landed, Cromwell had our bags in the Customs. I showed the inspector our letter of introduction and the letter promising free entry. He let everything thru without examination, and we all went up to the hotel - about a half block away. Mr. Jackson showed us what he called his best room and we decided to take it without further looking. It has the usual dresser, clothes press, and washstand, but it's large enough to accomodate two tables, - one a large one.

The rate is $45.00 a month a piece, or $3.00 a day for both. This is the lowest we've found. As soon as we were settled I started out to see about the trunk and the motorcycle. They hadn't come ashore yet, but Huggins & Co., the agents, had a package of mail for us, - including these notebooks. Went to see the Chief of Police about licences. He was not in at first and I finally got to see him just before lunch. He was very pleasant and accomodating. He gave me the application forms and Oked them. I then went to the treasury and paid 5 shillings for the Driver's Permit. A note from the Colonial Secretary said I would not have to get a license for the motor. So I went back to the Chief, who gave me a note of permission, in case I get stopped. He also said that if I get in trouble anywhere in the island to phone him, and I can use the guest rooms at the Police Stations if necessary. He lent me a copy of the Grenada Handbook. I then went to see the Colonial Secretary. He seemed very busy and wanted to get to the point and finish it, but he was quite accomodating and said I could go anywhere in the island.
