6 ant library (on the Pretoria, one had only the dining-room) & a crowd of nice people aboard. The ship itself is much pleasanter with broader promenade decks & white & gold decorations. Our cabin is smaller, but lighter, better ventilated & better located. The faster greater speed of the boat (twice as fast as Pretoria almost) procuces a greater vibration. I slept well, nevertheless: it was like being a baby & “joggled” on one’s knee! Deary-me! where did I leave off & what were some of the experiences which will bear telling? Tuesday, there was quite a conflict of pleasures. Fritz had been invited to a banquet given by the Mayor in the evening. He accepted, thinking the rest of the party were included. As it turned out, they were not & he felt quite chagrined, because a public dinner is usually a bore. There was a delightful all-day excurtion planned also, due to return at 7:30. I knew well that meant later & Fritz would be late for the dinner. The guide however assured us we could come back at “any time.” We therefore joyously joined the excursion, which was by steam launch, up Southampton Water . It was a beautiful day, the water dancing & sparkling in the sunshine & the bay, alive with all sorts of water-craft. Scarely had we started, however, before the leaders decided it would be too bad to return a bit earlier than absolutely necessary & so got out maps & time tables
