Dec 1st 1914
To Day saw the unusual sight of men
gambolling for Bread they played after
the style of Banker. Arrived at Bombay
Dec 2nd 1914
The ship sailed into Port & we went
On shore. The Natives Here are just the
Same as at Aden. Very Bad Looking &
Very thin the women working wilst the
men lounged about. I forgot to say that
on the Descado we had to sleep the
best we could some in Hammocks some
on the Tables but most on the Floor.
To night however we had to sleep like
The Natives with no covering at all.
Scores of Natives sleep on the Dock
sides at Night.
