Just another note to send along
from Colombo, which we should reach
in another hour. I have two letters
of introduction from Lord Mandeville
to people there, so it should prove to
be a very interesting party. One thing
I am determined to see there—the
trick whereby the Indian Fakir
causes the Mango Tree to grow out
of the ground, while one looks on. I
have heard of the trick all my life,
and this is its home.
Went to church on board yester
day morning. Such an ill-assorted
congregation I have never seen be

converted, and not yet shorn of his
priestly vestments. An English girl
of doubtful morals presided at the
piano, while the congregation consist
ed of an American travelling man, an
Austrian Jewish trader, a Russian
