After luncheon we made a few nore futile efforts 
to get our launch released, and after being fairly 
tired out we gave up, going over to the quarantine 
camp v/here they have isolated the plague suspects 
from the plague zone, and where they test then 
for temperature for seven days, that being the incu- 
bating period for Bubonic Plague. 
crossed over with Dr. J.A.L. del Valle, who 
is in charge of this compound, and who holds that 
the situation is completely under control. I had 
a clipping here from today* s paper. La Lucha, on 
the situation. 
Also one from the sane paper, calling attention to our 
expedition. The latter is quite characteristic and 
needs no comment. I should have stated before that 
(rill hunted me up the first thing in the morning. He 
is in fine shape but the poor fellow was hurried off 
so suddenly that he was completely strapped. Here 
again I had a typical experience. I called up last 
night to find in what room he was quartered and was 
directed to No. 7 ; then, finding this empty, to 434. 
This being locked, I put a memorandum under the door, 
which was delivered to him at the desk this morning. 
He tells me his room is 270.
