Transcription Notes
A very rough and unpleasant day. Maud stayed in bed and made no attempt to come up. I spent the day revising the Introduction, talking & playing patience & chess with Hough and killing time as best I could. We are evidently making a very slow passage but exactly how slow it is impossible to say as the daily runs are not posted up. It is rumoured that we are making a very northerly course and are constantly altering it, in order I presume that we may give the slip to any raiders that may be about. My friend the barber says that we ought to land early on Wednesday morning but if the present weather continues it may easily be Thursday or even later!
