Mabel has pain in throat, Dr. Hackett said it might be an incipient quinzy, she has been given gargle. We have acquired a camp bed for Mabel through one of the young RC priests.  ((Up to then, she'd still been sleeping on piled-up suitcases)). Shanghai people are supposed to be leaving us for Shanghai if they can get the money for their fare from this end.

Dr. Lang ((Was he in Stanley?)) gave him medicine and I do hope he will soon be smiling again. We packed some, as we expect to arrive at Africa tomorrow.
