They wore smart, starched white shirts, skirts and caps, and kept an eye on me by periodic visits to my little private room. The Halifax Railway Station also serves as the terminus for Maritime Bus, which serves destinations across the Maritimes. He had written me a most friendly and sympathetic note, however, and I sat down at his desk among his bulging in-trays and composed a reply with my farewells. Our poor performance was eclipsed only by Balliols First Boat which started as Head of the River on the first day of the races, was bumped four times and ended up on 1st June a long way from the top. The goodbyes were as sad as ever. The market went well; and after lunch the Nzega MO and PWD man joined me to look at sites for a new dispensary and houses for the chief, a clerk and a messenger. When I went down to settle my first month of bills, however, I was horrified to find I did not have enough money for them. I was put to bed and made to stay there with a bedpan and just one pillow, woken at 5.30 in the morning with a cup of milk, given bed baths and several tedious examinations by the doctors - they weighed me the first morning and I was 8 stone 9 lbs. The other problem was that there was only the one court house in Nzega, and the three of us magistrates had to take our turn. As time went by, Susie became ever more friendly and sweet-tempered. For her, and for them, I hope and pray with all my heart.. At the same time I was eager to go abroad again for the stimulus of seeing new sights and living among different peoples. Chiefs, and federations of chiefs, were recognised to run local government through their tribal structures of petty chiefs and headmen. Anyway I hope they like my little presents a bit. They dyed their hair in red mud-packs and carried ornaments in them and in their ears and noses. It was thus at the Club that I met the others who were on their way with me to becoming colonial administrative officers. The sofa and two armchairs had wooden arms; and a long low table ran the length of the sofa at which I sat in the evenings. Few members of the Administration had previously had had the opportunity to take such an interest in the townspeople and coastal folk as I had during those four months, and it was clear that they had appreciated it - and of course I was immensely gratified. I put a tax defaulter in the lock-up for a night while trying to decide what to do with him. So he dashed off to the other end of the country with a loan from me to pay for the family funeral and wake expenses. Each day that followed the telephone call home, I spent the mornings in bed writing and typing. All sorts of anomalies and problems emerged as one unravelled the shaky system. In May Paul Mazinga was posted to Nzega and joined the Boma administrative staff as, in effect, a trainee District Officer, or ADO. The three of them sat round my bed and bombarded me with questions on vocabulary and conversation in Swahili. Finally I plumbed for Tanganyika as the poorest and least developed of all the African colonies. School attendance was being pushed hard by the DC. Then it was my task to issue summons and arrange a convoy of lorries, buses and bicycles to take all these people down to the Korogwe court house as soon as possible. Nobody quite knew which laws applied to the case. I mentioned the Regiment in my prayers, re-read each night sections of the diary I had kept in my Hong Kong days, and despaired that I could ever regain the particular happiness I had felt among my soldiers. I slept through the second half. So we packed up our belongings, walked the four miles down to it, and sat beside it waiting as patiently as we could for the road to dry out enough for us to resume our journey. One crate of mine was missing, as was one of Normans boxes; they went on to Dar es Salaam and took some weeks to come back - it was all rather tedious. I moderated the criticisms in my speech of goodbye and good wishes, and thought all was well until, after saying more kind things, Wakili Ali Muhunzi presented me with a stout walking stick as a farewell gift. Examples in Portugal are the Capitlio Theater (1931) and the den Cine-Theatre (1937) in Lisbon, the Rivoli Theater (1937) and the Coliseu (1941) in Porto and the Rosa Damasceno Theater (1937) in Santarm. In front of the porch was a narrow strip of grass, a few wild and straggly rose bushes and a low stone wall. The bungalow was broken into and burgled. Despite all such things, I was totally bored and depressed. There were thirty stalls, a Punch and Judy show, and displays of police dogs and very lovely Indian dancing. Swahili is not difficult to learn in the sense that it is spoken as it is written, and there are few irregularities. Mostly they were engaged in grass cutting and sweeping to keep the township and the station clean and tidy, with particular attention to the area around the Boma. The reserve was full of game but little frequented, perhaps because of the fearful heat and the wicked tsetse flies. From mid October onwards, I was out two evenings each week at meetings of ward and village councils at one baraza or another. Youve got to look after yourself, you know., I worried about her remarks for three days before extracting reassurances from Dr Coles that Mrs Pipers treatment was out of date. She was a smart, courteous and intelligent person, doing her best for the village women, and invited us to inspect some of the knitting and sewing she had taught them. She told us he had been sent to prison for fiddling the books, and she had four awful children largely out of control and very little money with which to feed them while her husband was inside. We were in the Indian Ocean and feeling the effects of the southwest monsoon. Wide and open, the sparse bush was interspersed with thickets of wicked and aptly-named wait-a-bit thorn trees, woodland on the higher ground, tall elephant grass in the valleys, with a scattering of the ugly baobabs, graceful coconut palms and clumps of doum palms. I rang up the Nzega Boma and spoke to Peter to say I would not be coming back. I bid Godspeed to Michael Longford who was getting better but losing a great deal of weight; and I said goodbye with sadness to the elderly nun, dear Sister Bridget, whom I greatly admired. I was completely taken by surprise when Harry told me one day he would like me to move out of the flat because he was going to marry Hilary. On my very first evening in hospital, Fred Webb and his wife walked into my room. WebAll classifieds - Veux-Veux-Pas, free classified ads Website. I had enjoyed A Pattern of the Islands by Arthur Grimble that Margaret had given me for my twenty-first birthday and been fascinated by the delightfully-written tales of colonial administration in the South Sea Islands. Drafting letters about the Poles and the Repatriation Centre, and so back home to a very welcome cup of tea. I could not complain, however, because I had frequent visitors and was making many friends among them. In May, I began to entertain at home and repay just a little of the hospitality I was receiving. I told the Board about it while confessing it needed polishing and re-typing - for the first draft had been done when I had been in bed. The Masai had no permanent homes but moved around the country with their herds, wearing loose blankets and carrying bundles of spears. Pieces were typically of plywood finished with blond veneer and with rounded edges, resembling a waterfall.

The bus was old, dirty and noisy and gave me an uncomfortable journey. One evening, we went together to an old Sherlock Holmes film, and when we came out around midnight, I persuaded him to take me in his land-rover to look for hippo among the coconut palms and in the mangrove swamps along the creek. I gathered it had been part of a German floating dock sunk during the First War to block the entrance to British warships. I gave evidence in court about a confession I wrote of a particularly unsavoury murderer. All the teachers appeared and I briefed them carefully before the racing began, hoping they would organise the events themselves, but some of the Mission staff made difficulties, and only two among the numerous headmasters were much help. I became committed to my work which was absorbing and fulfilling, and I began to enjoy the evenings and busy social life. Melbourne and Sydney, Australia, have several notable Art Deco buildings, including the Manchester Unity Building and the former Russell Street Police Headquarters in Melbourne, the Castlemaine Art Museum in Castlemaine, central Victoria and the Grace Building, AWA Tower and Anzac Memorial in Sydney. The bad news then reached me that my truck was stuck in the mud carrying logs for one of the bridges. I was invited to a sundowner by Dick Pentney at Minaki School just down the road from us, and then to a pleasant dinner party given by the DC and his wife. [7] The Mi'kmaq have resided in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island since prior to European landings in North America in the 1400s and 1500s to set up fisheries. My living accommodation consisted of one big room, divided in half by walls jutting a foot or so into it. We tried various blandishments and threats, but made little progress - at one stage I found myself embroiled in a case between the parties before the Resident Magistrate. Simon and I also explored the beaches to the north of the city in the area known as Kunduchi. Counting tails and then having them burnt was another filthy job that I had to do as I went round the barazas during a safari, but it was essential to prevent cheating.
