- Aug 2nd Sunday At 2 o'clock. Lindo Webb ex-consul told us we our last chance to go was this evening by a destroyer from Los Pinos, Palma. One suitcase each. We had just had lunch. Packed hurriedly and at random. Gelat came & undertook to do everything. He said 'sin verguenzas' and wept. Magdalena & Medora came. Antonia and her husband to sleep at Can Torrent, and look after Alice & Nicholas. Gelat took keys, will keep everything for us, “don't worry” , will take Solomon for walks. Everyone weeping as we went off. Skirted Palma – saw broken windows no other damage. Today 60 bombs dropped. Soldiers lounging about. Growing beards already. Letters for Schw & Str. who stay at Deyá to forward to Nickel & Emmi's sister. Forgot to excuse ourself to tea with the Junyers. Short confident Fascists will soon win. Saward examined passports at English tea room.
