  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.
