Mar.
Dec. 6 Had some heavy rains in
the night, I was up before day-
light, had my tea and went up
stairs and then breakfast.
The first thing in the morning
I finished up my packing, then
went to the P.O., and the R.Ry.
station for the train, to stop for
my luggage; had rains and then
suns all the afternoon, and it was
fairly clear at 12.15 when I took
my luggage to the boat. A great
load off my mind.
I came back to the Perth House
for tiffin, then settled up my
bill (did not take the head boy as
a clerk of the poor servant) and then,
waited for the rain to stop; walked
down to the Belanger at about 3.30,
changed my clothes and then
had some tea. The Cofh. had a big
party but I did not join it.
We sailed for Bundaberg shortly
after six; it is quite rough
and I was a little uncertain
inwards the course of dinner; the storm
is getting very bad. To bed at 10.
