Wednesday August16 proved to be a great day. We started
early to see the "flower market" the flowers are nearly all
wild and were numerous in variety and beautiful
in color. The sellers were colored people, old and young,
presenting every possible shade from white to black
with Sudian and Malay mixtures often apparent.
It was a pretty and unique sight. It was immediately
in front of the Standard Bank, where we all repaired
with our letters of credit, for in this country, the shillings
chase the pounds out of ones pocket book, and the "tickys"
