Transcription Notes
Only 275 miles to-day — a great disappointment as conditions pretty favourable. Captain told me that coal very bad yielding over 40% of ashes. As it is German coal the large percentage of refuse is comprehensible. Head better but not feeling over well. Weather quite windless though rather cold. Sea calm except for a ground swell which makes us pitch a good bit.
