Sweated out "Ben the Barber" today - he is a native who does the barbering here. Surprising as it sounds, he did an excellent job with a pair of scissors and hand powered clippers. Two of us sent a native boy with $5 across the river to buy a quart of Scotch. We never saw him or the money again - this is worse than New York for being a clip joint.
Time is beginning to drag terribly - just laying around & it looks like we will be here several days yet. Spent the evening trying to see the native dance with their drums across the river but couldn't see much.
Played hearts with the gang for an hour or so.
