  chief morner was dressed up in all kinds of

  rags, face very dirty & hair very dishevelled &

  made to look as though she had just gone

  mad.  After that came the Friends & relations all

  screaming & moaning pittiously like we thought

  it quite a pleasure after they had all passed.

   

  Sat Feb 27 1915

   

  To day I witnessed one of the most

  terrible storms I have every seen. The Rain

  came down in one sheet for about twelve

  hours without ever abating & the lightning

  was every few seconds all the time the rain

  was coming down. The lighting just seemed to

  completely open the heavens & although terrible I

  must say that it was most lovly.

   

  Sunday Feb 28 1915

   

  To day we had to be out of Bed or

  rather I should say off the floor by 4-30

  as to day we leave Myitkyina for Maymyo
