(24) This morning we found
the Freita listed to the
opposite side without any
apparent reason as far as we
could learn of the crew. The anchor
was hoisted at 10 Oem. She
steamed out to the mouth
and over the bar. The weather
was squally with hard rain.
(25) Our weather has become
quite ideal. Today we
saw a blue sea flecked
by a few white caps + a
deep sea of small waves
which were scarcely felt
on board. I spent some of
the day playing Bridge with
an Australian wool dealer,
a Calcutta merchant + an
American commercial traveler
from Boston:
(26) Sunday broke calmer +
clearer than Saturday. The
sea was deep blue with white
caps or waves of much size.
