Jaranesa en- route for Europe ana
Russian officers and soldiers returning
from Japan We made some agree
able acquaintanccs among the COM
pany as it is possible TO DO on every
voyage. but just before leaving the
boat at colombo we came into contact
With a tourist VINO belonged to the
genus hog.
OJtl. boat arrived between eight and
nine i'm the evening 5ad the portcrs
informed us that the hotels We're full,
bllt thar we could obtain rooms III the
morning as a number would leave on
our ship. | stated the case to the cap
tain and he assured me that we were
welcome to remain on board until
morning. Just as my Wife and daugh-
ter We're retiring Il man came on
board followed BY Il lot of baggage.
and directed his porter To put it in our
room. EXPLAINED to him that. not
bcin. able to fad accommodations on
shore we had obtained permission to
occupy the room until morning. but
he brjlsqucIy replied that he had en-
gagged the room two months before and
must have it, | called his attention to
the fac1 that the boat was late in
reaching porr and would not leave nm
til nearly noon the next day. and sug-
gested as politely as | could that the
captain was the proper person to dc
eide whether he was entitled 10 claim
ne room under the circumstances.
Without consulting the captain he
went 10 the steward and demanded
that the ladies be moved To another
room. although another. room was
placed at his disposal for the night. 1t
REQUIRED some plain. straightforwaId
ana emphatic language to bring him
.occury a different room temporarily.
