70 nearly all day. At bath time the wind shifted around to SE so, though it still looks threatening, I have hopes. No canoe could have come today so for the moment I'm not cursing the captain! I wrote a 15-pager to friend Marcus & did some odd jobs but the rest of the day I loafed & slept -- waking up to eat eggs now & then! The Chow was much impressed with my Thomas hair tonic & shampoo. -- Wanted to send to Suva for some even when I told the price was 8/0 per bottle. I told him they could only be gotten in America but he insists that you can get anything in Hong Kong so I finally gave in and wrote out the names for him! More rain arriving [[underline]] right now. [[/underline]] Ho-hum! Willy is as fed up [[end of page]] [[start of page]] 71 with this place as I am -- Wish we had a Tuvutha' duck! Cheerio -- Harry P.S. Willy has just discovered an ancient deck of cards in this town! Four are missing but I'll make some replacements. I'll be a hell of a devilish fellow tonight -- and play solitaire! H. 8 [[superscript]] 10 [[/superscript]] p.m. FLASH! Wind now blowing "like billy-o"! -- and raining like hell! Have just looked at the barometer & its over 800 feet -- that's just about 100' higher (lower) than its been since I've had it. Maybe Willie and I will ride over [[end of page]]
