Monday Feb. 153 - 99

This afternoon the new boat, very large - called Hainout
left - She was loaded with passengers. Major Porkney
the British Consul was one among them. Mr. Malet got
left. After the departure of the boat I went to the
Commissaire & gota ticket for Vass - it said the boat
would leave on 15¢ - Our goods are not yet on board so
guess she will not go then.

Tuesday 14 - 1899

Today a notice came around saying that the boat would
leave on 16 ~ so everything was made ready. I went to
Kinshasa to get 150 loads ready for “Autoinelle" Dutch
House boat, & just as I got the last checked here comes
a note from Sophi¢ calling me home. I came & found her
with fever the 1°* & only one since she had the one
during her first month in Congo. I went to work right
away, but there was not much to do for she & Mr. Vass
had done all that was necessary - piled on the blankets
& put on the hot water bottles ~ so it was not long
before she got into a sweat & her temp began to go down.
Good night.

Wednesday Feb. 15 - 1899

Up very early - had breakfast & got Vass & his belong-
ings down to the boat - 5 passengers on board. I sent
Nkeku to Kinshasa with Vass to see the custom officer

all was well. This a.m. the fever was gone from Sophie

& she immediately began to mend. The Dutch boat will

not go until Monday next. Good night. We are alone again

Thursday Feb. 16 - 99

I got up about 5 o'clock this a.m. & went to Kinshasa on
my bike - to see Mr. Greshoff off, for he left this asm.
for Matadi - on his way to Europe where he will remain
about 5 months. He wrote me a letter last night saying
that he would leave today - so I went over to see him.

I rec'd from the capt. of boat my manifesto, stopped at
Gordon's a few minutes saw Mr. Howell who came down on
the peace B.M.S. and will stay until Wednesday next. I
came home and all's well. good night.
