Nov.12th

Heat excessive.   We expect to cross the line to-night or to-morrow morning.   Great preparations are in progress for the ceremony of crossing.   I am heartily sick of the trip.   The sooner we arrive in England the better.

Nov. 13th

This morning a canvas tank was erected in the fore well deck to give all those who have not crossed the line before a ducking.   The ceremony has been put through.   All the officers have been put through amidst great applause.
