Transcription Notes
Settling down to usual life on board ship. On the whole a very uninteresting lot of passengers. Maud is lucky to have got so nice a cabin mate & I to be alone! Try to write the beginnings of my Introduction but as usual find it very difficult to do so on board. Run 320 — pretty well as much as this old ship will do. She is heavily laden mainly with grain. I hear that she is to be taken over by the Dutch government after this voyage to carry grain. I sit up pretty late in the smoking room and get up late — bath at 9 — and this enables me to shorten the day.
