More land hove in

sight today. Aden. A very

fine spot. The first thing

we saw was a huge rock

appearing on the horizon

like a cloud. We stayed here

for about 8 Hrs. It is very interesting

to see the different types of

n**gers, these appear to be a more

civilised & a better class than

those of Colombia (sic). Although we

anchored well out, we were soon

surrounded on all sides by this tribe

with boat loads of tined pines, dates

& Turkish & Egyptian Cigarettes. These were

going at 6 per 100 upwards to 2/-.

I think we all have enough now

to last us to end of war.
