MR. WILMOT, OUR TABLE COMPANION + CONSULAT CULTURAL REPRESENTA- TIVE TO AUSTRALIA FROM G.B., HAD A TOUCH OF FLU AND WAS AWAY FROM SEVERAL MEALS. ONE BABY WAS BORN ON SHIP THE OTHER DAY + ONE OR TWO MORE ARE EXPECTED. SO, WE STARTED KIDDING WILMOT WHEN HE TOOK TO BED. YESTERDAY A.M. DR. LILLEY, JOHN GARNEY + I WENT TO HIS CABIN CARRYING A BASINETTE, DIAPERS, BOTTLE + STETHESCOPE ! THERE IS A GENUINE RABBI ON BOARD - WE WISH WE COULD HAVE TAKEN HIM WITH US, TOO ! AT DINNER RADIOGRAMS EXPRESSING ALARM, CONCERN, CURIOSITY + CONGRATULATIONS WERE HANDED HIM. (SEE CARDON COPY). THE CAPT. WAS AT DINNER, AND WE HAD SUCH A HILARIOUS TIME THAT WE COULD SCARCELY EAT A WONDERFUL DINNER. THE APPEARANCE OF THE CHILD AT CHARLES' ARM WAS THE CROWNING TOUCH! AND IT WASN'T A PUT-UP JOB EITHER.
