Crowd, and also the ever changing panorama of the harbour.

Aboard at 7.30 pm.

With Captain Blackwood ashore for the day. Am much disgutted by the extreme delay. No word of sailing date is yet settled. Here are we a few hundred miles from London, and 10 days elapsed! Of course there are undoubtedly satisfactory reasons, , but why on earth were we not allowed to join the vessel at this port and so save at least a week's time.

Weather delightful. Spent the day in making small purchases and walking around the city which is but a poor recreation. Ship at 7.30 pm.
