Sunday March 17 - 1929 It is raining and Howing some as I got aboard the steamer Avon this morning. Again they gave me a room all to myself mr 110 on te B deck. It is an outside room. I have now been in Bermuda ten weeks and have seen considerable of the island. All in all it is a very enjoyable winter place, but a rather expen- sive one. Poef Dales came to see me off. Later in the day the sun is out, and the ship is not laboring much. All in all the day passes and my headache is light. Monday, March 18 - 1929 During the night the wind began to blow harder for the north-west and kicked up considerable of a sea. All day the ship pitched a good deal and every few minutes the propellers are out of the water and then shake the room from stern to stem. Did not risk getting up larger than to go to the toilet room, but the steward Mr Harton kept me all I could eat. But oh how tired some of the sea and the uncertainty of life.
