My Trip to Borneo.
After a most strenuous forenoon's
work in the office I endeavored to take
a "park tiffin rista" but at 2.30 my
telephone sounded me and I was informed
that the S.S. "Dumalier" would sail at 3.
I need rush to dress and get to the
boat only to learn that the time set
for sailing was 4 and we finally
set steam at about 3' in a down-
pour. Almost every place on deck
was washing but we soon cleared
out of the line of rain and
passed by Loerrigider with a
fine sunset over Mt. Marivalles.
Struggled with luggage in my state-
room which I think will be its
only use I shall finish it too.
Had our dinner at noon, Spanish
style with its "vino tinto" of which
I am very fond; even after I
work to bed on deck on a Filipino
cut several sizes two short with all
the bed clothes did several sizes too short
but the strenuous days work has
tired me so, that stretching out
on a bare board would be welcome.
