 March 20, 1916, to take up magnetic-survey work in Africa, having 

 been reUeved of ocean duty after the Carnegie's arrival at Lyttelton 

 from Dutch Harbor (see page 316). From Durban he continued 

 to Cape Town by rail, observing at 4 stations, including Durban, and 

 arriving at Cape Town April 4. From Cape Town a trip was made to 

 Walfish Bay, Gennan Southwest Africa, by steamer, thence return to 

 Cape Town by rail, observing at 7 stations along the railroad. At

 making observations at 3 coast stations en route. From Boma he pro-
