Tuesday Jan. 15″

Not much improvement
in the weather – a new? gray
day with the steamer dipping
its bow low in the swells
and throwing the foam and
spray high in the air –
Rather difficult to walk
on deck or anywhere for that
matter – Dr. Bade lectured in Social Hall

Wednesday – Jan 16th
a terrible night the sea so
rough and the waves so high
they sounded like an explosion
as they struck the steamer –
the Quarter Master told us
that last night during the four
hour watch the steamer
progressed but ??? 5 + 6 miles
and the ships log for the 24 hours
ended at noon to day was
but 196 miles. So we are late.
