November 30, 1917 The last night out, a red cross auction took place in the saloon, where cabaret dancing was interspersed. An overcoat of Major Glasgow's Romanian Red Cross Commission sold for $200.00 by tickets. There were also sold damascene pictures, jade, trinkets etc. $500 was raised. December 1, 1917 We steamed through the Golden Gate at 7am and anchored at Alcatraz Island for quarantine inspection, then proceeded to the dock at 10am. The custom house baggage inspection lasted until 1pm and then I went up town with Griffen to the Palace Hotel and took a room. After lunch I went with Seligman of Boston (Hartmann Brothers) to the Columbia Theatre and enjoyed greatly the musical comedy "Miss Springtime." December 2, 1917 - Sunday Sunday was quiet. Janssen of New York and I took a long stroll up Market Street. December 3, 1917 I visited Berkeley and called on Harvey Hall, who gave me a few letters which I had asked him to hold for me. At the Faculty Club, I met Dr. G.K. Gilbert, and a geologist who has spent 2 years in Chinese travel. Harvey took me home for dinner, where I saw Carlotta and the baby Martha, now 20 months old and just able to pronounce a word or two and walk. 72
