S.S. Port Darwin
Melbourne heads, 22nd Dec.
We arrived here yesterday & went to the quarantine station here. The quarantine Authorities came aboard with pads over their mouths & noses whereat there was much merriment & jocose remarks at their expense.

They have put us in quarantine for 3 days, so that all going well we shall leave on Tuesday morning & with luck should reach Sydney on Xmas day, where I at any rate shall call a halt for several days.

Meanwhile we have our Temps. taken & are shut into an overpoweringly hot whaling room. It is an anxious time too for but Hush.
