with the shops. The nice place on Harbour Street where 

 the best Wedgwood was to be obtained in 1937 is gone 

 completely and Gick's is no longer in evidence. Lewis 

 tells me that Gick has lost interest in photography and 

 is spending all of his time at the local broadcasting 

 station. About 4 PM I remembered that I had had nothing 

 to eat since morning, so to the Dixie Doodle for a sand- 

 wich and some ice-cream. Then back to the Institute in 

 time to meet the Board of Directors, just as the meeting 

 broke up. About 5 PM, Lewis and I went to 2 Piccadilly 

 Road to look at a room that was available. I was satis- 

 fied and closed with Mrs. F. L. Dignum for the sum of 



2 Piccadilly Road, Cross Roads P. 0. 



Two pounds ten a week. Then back to the Institute to 

 get my baggage. After getting settled, I had tea, for- 

 getting that dinner would be served in half an hour. 

 The food was plentiful and well cooked, though the cook 

 has a heavy hand on the pepper and curry powder. Lewis 

 is going to Goat Island (in the American Reservation) 

 tomorrow and has invited me to go along. There are 

 already four persons at 2 Piccadilly Road; Mrs. Florence 

 L. Dignum, widow of the late Assistant Colonial Secretary, 

 her 19 year old daughter, Faith and Dick Doubleday, visit- 

 ing the island from Vancouver, B. C. The fourth member 

 does not really count. He is a Mr. Radix, english, very 

 ill bred and not much in evidence. I have a large room 

 on the west side, opening onto a side porch and separated 

 from it by jalousies. There are no mosquito bars but am 

 told that the mosquitoes are rarely bothersome. A flit 

 gun is available.
