16 The sea was moderate
with a misty rain most
of the day but the air feels
warmer than at Yokohama.
The steamer has done some
pitching & a few people are
sea-sick wildly.
17 The weather was
overcast with misty rain
at intervals & a fair sized
swell running. One of
the passengers of interest
to me is Mr. H. Williams, an
engineer & expert who has
traveled much in Japan & some
in Korea, where he visited the
Diamond Mtns., which he says
are very rough & forested &
inhabited by bear, tigers & deer.
He knows the minas Gerais
Country of Brazil, much of
which he says is a desert.
