I wrote to Mrs McConnel & gave her full details of AE1 & all that we knew - Its quite on the cards that while diving AE1 struck a pinnacle of rock – submerged – but like the one I told you about in Simpson hafen with the cross on it -
About 4 pm Herbert & I went to the beach & I got Mab a rather nice book full of Suva views & I also got R some P. cards which I trust will meet with the young people's approval - I also posted a letter to Rawdon - Herbert & I then went to the tennis lawns The turf here is vy vy good = Of course the heavy rainfall helps it immensely - They have 3 grass courts as good as I have seen anywhere - Beautifully level & green - The tennis was moderate with no star performers that I saw - I think I prefer wandering about anywhere looking at the plants, birds - rocks, reef in preference to watching second class tennis - We are getting to know people ashore & I met a lot walking home including Father Fox who had been visiting the Grantala -
