Oct. 27, 1912

Sunday morning and very quiet. Colombo
looks so pretty from the water. It is
raining so no one thought of going on
shore. The natives came to the boat
with ornaments to sell. They are
such odd looking mortals. The
men have long black hair which
they were in a coil and have a 
funny looking comb stuck in it.
They wear very narrow skirts and
loose white coats. The harbour
is dotted with odd looking little
boats.
