shopping, picking up some Arab and Somali chains, and sev¬ 
eral Somali spears and shields. 
Sailed from Aden at eight this morning. 
In the Indian Ocean. A gymkana was begun at three this 
afternoon, and is to continue two days. There were many 
entries for the athletic sports, bridge and skate tournaments, 
chess and bull-board; spar and bolster fighting, turtle pull; 
obstacle race (the obstacles being the life-buoys, two benches, 
one spar, and two sacks; the last-named to be crawled 
through), tie and cigarette races, and tugs-of-war (First Class 
vs. Second Class; Passengers vs. Crew; and Anglo-Saxons vs. 
Teutons). 
In the Indian Ocean. A fancy dress-ball was held to-night. 
The second-class deck was lit by Japanese lanterns and elec¬ 
tric lights, and bunting was spread around. Many of the 
ladies, anticipating this event, brought appropriate costumes 
along; but the prettiest gown after all was one made com¬ 
pletely from newspapers. Altogether the affair proved most 
enjoyable.
