Transcription Notes
We sailed at last at 11.30 and ran into a cold boisterous wind & high sea down the channel. Passed the Scilly Islands about 5 p.m. but made small headway against the gale. Ship very steady considering the sea which was very high — pitching a bit but not rolling. Began to make friends with Miss Evans, a Chicago journalist friend of Charlotte Foss who was returning to America after spending several months in Germany & permeated with pro-German heresies.
