Lovely day – very cool – quite satisfied the Wandilla is a great old tub, although there is a big swell on. Hope to see land sometime to night, going around the Cape – Land came to view about 3 pm, out of sight again 6 pm, have got around the Cape. Very rough all night – not going to call at Freemantle, going straight to Colombo. Heard the "Warilda" is about 150 miles behind us – with troops on board. So far we have no escort, but I think they vary the course during night. Have 15,000 Bags of wheat on board, as ballast.
