Slowed down in vicinity of Marseille about 6 AM & took the pilot on board. Entered harbour & moored 8 AM. Wonderful harbour for its size; traffic very congested, great activity in & around the port; Numbers of German prisoners working on the wharves under guard. Left ship with baggage guard 1.30 pm, entrained 5.30. Country around Marseilles very fine.
