Transcription Notes
Another transformation. We wake up to a calm sea, like a mill pond, not a cloud in the sky, full sun but very cold. Just an off chance that we may land to-night but scarcely probable. To our immense delight we sight land soon after lunch and triumphantly reach the quarantine station at 5.30, a quarter of an hour before sunset. We have dinner on board at 6.30 and are in dock at 7.30 and at the Algonquin soon after 9 p.m. Miss Gilman & Rabold come round in the evening & have drinks with us & tell us all the news — some of it bad e.g. telegrams from Mrs Post backing out of St Louis engagement.
