Andy + I took Father's line of 44 3 y[ea]r bullocks to Levin sale but did not sell there being few buyers - price of cattle easier. I bid to £2.15.0 on a pen of 15 18 month steers - £2.15.0 reserve. In evening re-read "The Hound of the Baskerville" by A. Conan Doyle. The German marauding cruiser "Emden" sunk five British steamers in Indian Ocean.
