15th continued - Doé with a goffer from the Sheik and a pistol strapped around him and Janette went up the bank to take donkeys for the 1/2 hour trip to the Station - the natives crowded around and wondered why [[underlined]] one [[/underlined]] donkey was not sufficient to take both together with the valise but as there was neither stirrups nor bridle they both objected  However off they got and about 10 Doé returned and reported all was well.  The Sheik after sending off the guard with them came on board and asked for some medicine for a severe stomach-ache he had. Mother got out her Jamaica ginger and gave it to him - afterwards we found the ache was in his cow.
