Diary 18.6.1883




Monday June 18


We have gone well all night, it is fine this morning but the water keeps coming over the side so we cannot go on deck today. The Doctor is giving blackcurrant jam for the children that have the cough, Emmeline is a little better. We are thinking of getting to Bundaberg next week so we are busy getting our clothes done up a bit, I have often heard people say anything is good enough to wear on ship board, we have found that out for ourselves. If we sit on the deck in warm weather we get our clothes covered with tar, in wet weather they get dirty with going up and down the stairs. Lat. 43.50S Long. 140.43E. South Cape of Tasmania 277 miles off.
