at 4:30 too tired to move again. Bill had
tea served in our room, which was great.
Dressed for dinner and went to Solan's --
a famous old San Francisco restauranter where
we had a very good Italian dinner. Then we
went to the Orpheum -- it was good but
saw 3 acts that we had seen in New York
last year.

The [Hiltabridles] called for us at the Stewart
and after a chat in the lobby all went
over to Hotel [Larne] to call on the
Bales. Then had lunch and planned to
take the 2:30 P.M. boat back to Vallejo. Took
a taxi a little early and on the way to the
boat we drove up around the Fairmont Hotel,
a beautiful building on the crest of one of
San Francisco's highest hills, had a fine view
of the city and bay from here, then went
thru Chinatown down to the Lincoln Hotel,
on lower Market Street, to see the damages
the earthquake of Oct 21st had done to it --
at its top -- 7 floors up -- it had separated
from the adjoining building about 1½ feet. At
about 5:30 P.M. we arrived back home in Vallejo.

The Bales came up for the day -- I cooked
a dinner for noon time then we walked all
over Mare Island. They returned to San Francisco
on the 6:30 P.M. and are sailing to-morrow
on the U.S.A.T. transport "Thomas" and will be
in Manila about 10 days before the Chaumont
gets there.
In the evening Wallace Dowd called for
us and took us to his home on Bay Terrace where we
met his wife. We played bridge all evening and
had a very pleasant time.

The Dowds came for us at about
3:00 P.M. and took us for a drive out in
the country -- towards Sacramento as far as
Cordelia and up a side road. Stopped at
a farm house where I picked my first orange
off of a tree and also a fig. Bill bought
