199 September 1-1918. Sunday Curling. We were to start for home at 10.30 A.M., but the usual late train did not arrive until 1 P.M. The day is dark, but it did not rain until later in the afternoon. We got to Port-au-Prince at 8.30 and in a few minutes more we were aboard the steamer. At 9.30 it started for North Sydney in a foggy night far too thick to cope with. Our two small men of war crew by her evident Mr. W. was once recently seen due. He had a slate come to himself, but I profited for eventualities and what to find my clothes on. The life preservers were written and laid handy for every man.
