Reading, walking, excitement at quoits and shuffle board, then the calm of a deck chair and warm rugs - and meals. Clayton and Charles took Haverford exams. I began "Kim". A delightful renegade he is, too. Occasionally we wrote. Then stared at the passing thousands – for thousands they seemed, - new faces at every turn. Sothern and Marlowe kept to the boat deck.(4)
The sea was placid. Then came a 3 hr. stop. Mistress "Lucy" had to have a shaft reset. (On reaching Eng. we found she had lost a propeller.) Only part of our power was on, so we ran but 500 m a day, - wherefore the vibrations and plungings of the L. under speed, were unknown to us.
