June 13 Saturday – At 7 a.m. in East London, S. Africa, Sam noted it was “Quite winterish” after having experienced twelve months of summer. In the evening Sam gave his No. 3 “At Home” talk at Mutual Hall [Philippon 21]. Note: Parsons writes of Kings William Town and East London, “Mark seems not to have had time for clubs or reporters. Through bad weather and good, however, he kept a heavy platform schedule” [“Clubman in S.A.” 250].
Parsons writes, “By Saturday it had turned ‘quite winterish (7 a.m.) There is a raw & blustery look about the sea, with its crawling, winking white-cap’”[“Traveler in S.A.” 27].
