Wednesday
Foggy again this morning, rather
cold. Up late, and did not get in until
9.30. Poulter came in and said that Sir Gurney Benham has
resigned all offices. And so we come to the end of an
epoch. The effect on the Museum may be
great, and the effect on me is not inconsiderable. I shall certainly not take any action
for the next few months, until I see whether the Committee intend to support Hull or
not. If, as Poulter says, they will support Hull wholeheartedly in every way, I shall have to resign at the end of the
year. This is so great that we do not
realise what has happened.
Got in as Higham clock struck
7. Low clouds, looks like rain. Some planes flew out towards the north-east, and then
just before 9 a few Germans came over roaring and diving behind the clouds, but
nothing happened and there was no firing.
Spent the evening reading and
writing. Read a ‘tec story about New Zealand and
felt a sudden interest in that country.
The position of the Maoris is most interesting.
