people were visiting or bathing
and the pearl fishers boats lay
on the sand.
During our long drive saw
three funerals – The first one was
preceded by a long line of marchers –
carrying white ???hammers? all of dif-
ferent sizes and shapes.
The marchers were close to-gether
giving the effect of a compact,
long line of ??? on poles.
The second one seemed to be more
modern in appearance.
The third was of a child – the
casket draped with the paper flowers
lay across a small raised plat-
form across the car or cart.
This was accompanied by ???
and a long line of stria???
dancers preceded it.
rather weird. (Dancing girls were dressed in white).
Returned to the steamer in
time for dinner. Tired out


(suggest a change)

    carrying white “banners” all of dif-
    ferent sizes and shapes.

    The marchers were close to-gether
    giving the effect of a compact,
    long line of “banners” on poles.

    This was accompanied by “music”
    and a long line of “street”
    dancers preceded it.
