They have to be put on damp so that they may take the shape of the foot; and when they get very hard, as they do in summer, have to be soaked in water. They soon wear out, generally not lasting longer than three weeks, as the ground is so rocky. Repetto is writing letters to be corrected by Graham, and really writes them very well for one entirely self-taught.
It then measured, Repetto says, 120 feet to 140 feet in length, and 20 feet in girth. Thursday, December 3l. Here we are, at home again, feeling decidedly tired, but having much enjoyed our holiday in the open air. We spent a very quiet day yesterday. In the afternoon I sketched an archway of rock. Then I went along the shore in search of Graham and William.
Keytel, for every day lost is a consideration to him. The Repettos are very much upset because some of the new-comers are trying to take their house. Yesterday just before embarking two of them threateningly said they meant to have it, and one took off his coat to fight Repetto.
The captain and his wife kindly sent us a bunch of bananas and a large tin of grape-nuts. Thursday, October 10. This afternoon we took the Repetto girls, Maria and Sophy, who are staying with us, for a picnic. We made for a grassy slope near Bugsby Hole, the children gathering sticks for the fire as we went.

It was our intention to start early, but the weather looked uncertain, so we waited awhile. At last we started off. Our party of eleven included Alfred, Maria and Johnny Green, William and Sophy Rogers, Emma Hagan, and Mary, Martha and Susan Repetto.

Which section is it that is coming?" "Gum! I don't know how many dere is ob dem. I seen Spider Reilly an' Jack Repetto an' "

I sat out on the plain right away from the houses. Saturday, January 23. Yesterday being Sophy Rogers' birthday, we went in the afternoon for a picnic. The invited were all those who attend the knitting-class. We went a little way west and had tea in a ravine. Mary Repetto, who is generally the leading spirit, superintended the boiling of the water.
