April 3, 1942

Good Friday
Up at 0600.
Took a walk in the town which is not much of a town to me.
Saw several Australian soldiers but mostly natives and a few Chinese.
The marines were setting up the equipment that we brought over.
Glad that we did not have to stay here.
The rainy season evidently must be starting as the showers are quite frequent.
The bottom of the bay is made of coral and you can see 25 or 30 as the water is crystal clear.
Bot some postage stamps and a few cards.
The stores are very small and they sell only useless items as far as souvenirs are concerned.
