dispensary, then return to Laisong |
| text: |
We spent the afternoon in a sleep of exhaustion. There was a dispensary in the evening to patch up the day's casualties; the two morungs had fought it out for some time. Hegokuloa then earnestly pressed us to stay for the serious drinking, but we had had enough, and in any case it would be some days before Namkia could sit down. We therefore said good-bye, and marched back again to recuperate at Laisong. |
