Nov. 5, 1912

Got up tired this morning. Dressed
to go on shore before breakfast.
Got to Fremantle at noon. Had
planned to go to Perth by river
boat but she was not be found.
Went by rail instead and it 
was so frightfully hot in the
 train that we all lost our tempers.
Went to the "Rose Tearoom" and
had tea, scones, cake and ice
cream but we were too hot to enjoy
it. Got cooled off later on and did
a little shopping and saw some
of the town. Took the ten to six
train back to Fremantle. It was
nice and cool coming back and we
got to the boat in time for dinner.
Went to the music room and talked 
to Mrs. Maclean for a while then
Mrs. Reid and I went out on deck.
Mr. Caris came back to the boat
with Mr. Connel. Went for 
a walk around the deck with Mr.
Caris and said good bye. Enjoyed
knowing him so much and he was
such a pleasant traveling com-
panion. After Mr. Caris left Mr.
Smith, Mrs. Reid, Mr. Connel and
I stayed on deck for an hour.

Nov. 4, 1912

This morning is lovely and fine
but the sea is rough! Had my trunk
up this morning. Spent part of the
morning on the top deck with Mr.
Caris. Read in the afternoon and
had a nap. Wore my black dress at
dinner. Mr. Caris came to dinner
wearing my scarlet tie. There was
a dance on deck later on. Mr. Caris
came down for me shortly before
refreshments were served. Later on
on we had lemon squash in the
dining room. Will miss our Perth
friends very much when they leave
us tomorrow.
