Land Magnetic Observations, 1914-20 



March 1. From there I mailed south to Tiger Bay, Angola, and then began the return 

 northward. Delays were occasioned waiting for steamers at all the-e places. On the 

 trip northward, rough weather caused several days' delay at Benguela, and at Loanda 

 10 days were lost during coaling. I arrived at Cabinda, Angola, on March 30, and con- 

 tinued on foot to Loango in French Congo, where I took a coasting steamer bound north- 

 ward and arrived at Libreville on April 22. 



Cabled instructions were received at Libreville to return to Washington, and the 

 journey was resumed on the same steamer on which I had arrived. Elobey and Bata 

 in Spanish Guinea, Santa Isabel in Fernando Po, and Douala in the Cameroun were 

 visited before reaching Lagos, Nigeria, on May 5. A delay of 2 weeks occurred here 

 while waiting for a steamer, which left Lagos May 20 and arrived at Las Palmas on May 

 31. Las Palmas and Santa Cruz (see view 4 of Plate 7) were reoccupied, and on June 12 

 I left Las Palmas for Washington via Boco Grande, Florida. On June 29 I reported at 

 the Office in Washington.
