Diary 24.5.1883


Thursday May 24


Another wet morning with plenty of wind. The Captain was laughing at me this morning when I was going to the closet holding on to one side of the ship. You would laugh to see us holding to ropes and things as we walk. Emmeline can walk better than me she leans all on one side. Porridge and tea for breakfast, I wish we had some of our own bread this is so foisty it has got damp with being in the hold. E.A. the skipper has been letting fireworks off in honour of the Queen’s birthday.
