Monday July 31, 1922

Lat: 10.8N, Long 15.29W. 342 Miles travelled.

A dull, rainy day – quite a new experience for us! But it makes the weather quite cool – remarkably so for our position and the time of year.

We were about 3 hours late in leaving Dakar. But with increased speed we have made up a good deal of our delay to reach Conakry by 8.0pm tonight thus keeping up to our time table.

It was interesting to reach a port in the dark (it is quite dark by 8.0pm now) though it prevented us from seeing anything of the port except a lights and the dark outline of hills against the sky, faintly lit by the young moon shining through a thin film of cloud.


A motor boat came out and took off the passengers and luggage for this port. We remained at anchor in the harbour for some 4 hours and left again just after midnight and continued on our way.
