Wednesday, January 20th, 1915.

170th day

Mother & Marion left for the south with the agreeable sentiments inspired by the news of German Bomb–dropping at Yarmouth reported in the morning's newspapers. After attending Mattins in the Cathedral, I worked at the Lecture. After lunch I went into the Cathedral in order to inspect the vaulting, which a recent letter from Macartney describes as in a dangerous condition. There are two great rifts across the vault at the west end from north to south, which have a most alarming appearance. Then Professor Gilchrist from Newcastle called to see me. He said that he had begun his teaching work at Bangor under Reichel.
