Still at Port Said. Got up on deck
early as the boat is very close. All
port holes are kept closed while in
port. Rather enjoyed watching the
natives. They swam out to the boat to
beg for coins. The passengers threw
coins and they would dive and find
them. Annie and the MacLeans
went on shore. Annie got a long
gray ostrich boa, a kimona for me
some post cards and a few little
things. Left Port Side about noon.
Enjoyed the afternoon very much.
and a change from the wide ocean.
It is only wide enough for boats to
pass so we were right near land
all the time. On one side as far
as we could see was nothing but
sandy desert relieved once in a
while by a few arabs with their camels.
On the other side some trees had
been planted once in a while we
a train pass on its way to Cairo.
Sat on deck all afternoon. After
dinner we went up on the upper deck.
It was moonlight and very pretty.
Sorry it got dark so early. We
were tied up at nine P. M. while
a boat passed us and again in
the morning.
