Diary 3.4.1883

Tuesday 3
Up all day, we made a potato pie for dinner, there is what is called a mess, that is so many persons in a mess there is 8½ with Emmeline in our mess, Mr & Mrs Hebdon are in our mess so we joined for a pie, you have so much for each person every day and if you want to make anything instead of a pudding you can, so we made some buns instead of a suet pudding, we have porridge every morning and plenty of boiled pork and soup and tinned beef, we have to be up by 7 every morning and all wash ourselves on deck before breakfast, there is a bathroom, we have all our meals on deck since we got over our sickness, it is very close downstairs and so many that there is not much room for anything.
