Tuesday, May 25th 1915
Arrive at Singapore 6.00 pm and leave 8.30 am next morning standard dollar sharp. Settlement $2/£1. We arrive at Kepple Harbour and take tram to Johnsone Pier and go to Europe Hotel for refreshments. Singapore is a very expensive place. Saw the Malay village on the water. Matchwood huts supported upon poles and just above the water. Seems to be more Hindoos & Malays than Chinese in Singapore and they seem to own all the shops.
