out last summer - Speak a little English
I don't feel any better today than yes-
terday & I think that shore will be a better
place than ship for me. Cold is going down
into lungs, I fear. Got some pictoral
medicine from Dr. Bijel today.
Wrote letter, read & visited. Went
out to "Godthaab", signed my passage
paper, feed the table & room steward
and bade good bye - Captain Schoubye,
Schoubye
gave me an orange, first that I have
seen in nearly two years tasted good
though it really was a bit dry -
Suffer at Priest Balle's with
Dr. & Mrs. Bijel, Mr. Möller (assistant
or
here, who is now going to Cöpen) and
the mate and chief engineer of the
"Godthaab" - Very pleasant evening
