8 roaring going on. It was too much for me, so I got up, put on coat & shoes & crept up to the deck. To my relief the moon shone brightly & the sea was smooth. I saw nothing, but learned this morning that we were holding back to let an immense berg pass! How I should have liked to see it! To-day is bright & sunny but cold. Sometimes the ships have to thread their way between a hundred or more bergs! Pretty ticklish business on a foggy night? We like the northern route, otherwise, extremely well & the Teutonic very much. Four days of ocean is an immense improvement over twelve or fourteen! We are now coming over timetables & trains to get the best & quickest route for home. Hurray! My uneasiness in the fog last night apparently was well-founded, as we are just told that at that time the captain had lost his bearings — had no idea where we were & when the fog lifted actually found that the ship was completely turned about! just at the most dangerous coast too!
