Yesterday Mr. Becker buried eleven.

* * * * *

To-day most were in blankets.

Wednesday, September 11.--Waylaid doctor; throat bad; got two bottles
medicine; seedy.

34 and 71 great distress; the girl in 71 actually still alive; some
people die hard.

Hurried back to hospital; Miss Snyman now so hysterical removed; tent
to herself; wonder if!

That Lotz girl too is still alive; but what a wonderful constitution
she must have!

Saw some distressing and heartrending cases to-day.

626; mother in agony; strong daughter (18) in throes of death and
fearfully "benauwd" (in agony), pneumonia. Little sister; insensible;
far gone; no doctor.

Hunted for doctor; gone to village; took him down this evening at
nine. O, the sorrow of it! Can never imagine a more harrowing
spectacle; we got medicine down; stayed three-quarters of an hour;
left doctor there and returned. Here go the bearers with their
lifeless burden; the elder sister died little while ago.
