admitted, that he, too, tanned very easily - as a matter of fact 
he is so light in color that he might pass for a white man# We 
were telling him about our collection of native names - Bobo, Flomo, 
Yo-Yo, Pay Pay, Best Man, New Boy, Fine Boy, Small Boy, Rice Bag, 
Car Boy, Monrovia - and he gave us three new ones - Black Man 
Trouble, Savior Boy and Sunday# 
We stopped in at the Mission, and found all three of the 
Fathers there (Carroll, Kennedy and Coleman) and had a pleasant 
visit with them over a glass of wine, and swapping Irish stories. 
On our way back we stopped at the hospital to give the 
Campbells some fresh Edam cheese that we had found in the metropolis 
and found that Bernice was there, and about to be put to bed in 
the hospital. She has been feeling miserable .for some time, and 
Dr# Campbell wants to give her a thorough going over# 
We came back to the house, and found nobody here, and the 
servants did not know where either George or Bernie were# There 
ensued one of the typical mix-ups over automobiles and messages# 
We had invited Ralph to come over to dinner, and promised that 
William would call for him, as our driver would have had enough 
work for the day when he got us back from Monrovia# William was 
here, but nobody had thought to tell him about calling for Norris* 
George, not knowing that Norris was coming, had gone off with the 
car# We had to send Philip - fourteen miles each way then 
George came in, and said Bernie was over at the Wellers, who live 
just two doors from Ralph, and that she would probably come with 
him# Ralph came In, and said "Where’s Bernie?" It seems that 
Mr. Weller had said he would drive her over, and Ralph thought he 
had seen her on the road# Bernie did not show up at all; it 
devel ped that she had gone to another house, leaving a message at 
the Wellers' which was not delivered. Stos We told William to 
pick her up when he took Norris back, but William couldn 1 t find her, 
and eventually one of the boys brought her back In a pick-up about 
one o ' clock* 
May 1 — 
Continuing automobile troubles. Bill had ordered Philip, 
our driver for eight o’clock# Bernie had a date for six thirty, 
but overslept, and at eight o 1 clock woke up and asked if she could 
go with Bill, as George had taken their cas While we waited for 
her to dress and breakfast, Philip reported that he did not have 
the key to our car. He is supposed to leave it with Vipond’s 
steward boy at night; last night the steward hoy was not there, 
so he left it with the cook. In the night the cook was taken ill, 
and w ent off to the hospital with the key in his pocket* The 
telephone is still not working, so Philip had to go down the road 
until he could borrow a pick-up - no easy task in the morning when 
the men ace out at work - drive to the ho spital, get the key, come 
back to Vipond’s, and eventually get our car.
