Nov. 11, 1912

A lovely bright morning and we

are still at Adelaide. Had a long
 letter from Jim. He will meet us

at Melbourne if possible. After

baby went to sleep Mrs. Reid, Annie

and I went for another walk. Got

some tea at a tea room but it cer-

tainly was rank stuff. Sat on deck

and talked to Mr. Smith and Mr.

Connel until lunch time. The

boat left Port Adelaide while

we were at lunch. We have lost

two days since we left Port Said

so will not get into Melbourne

until Wednesday instead of Monday

as we had hoped. It has been

very rough this afternoon. At

three I took baby to the cabin and 

we both had a nap. Got 

up in time for afternoon tea. Read

to the children for a while, went

for a walk. Gave Catherine a

bath and felt so shaky by the 

time I got ready for dinner

that I was glad to get up on

deck. Had such a good time

at dinner. Afterwards in the 

music room Mrs. Maclean Annie

Mrs. Reid and someone else played

brid(g)e and Mr. Connel and I sat

and looked on.
