Nov. 12, 1912

Have been busy this morning getting
our suitcases and cabin trunks packed
as we reach Melbourne sometime
tonight. It hardly seems possible
that we have been six weeks on
the water. Have had such a jolly
time. Talked to Mr. Connel for a 
long time this afternoon. Sat out on
deck for a while. Wore my blue
linen suit to dinner. The Captain
said we would not reach Melbourne
until eleven but we decided to sit up.
Annie played bridge and I talked 
to Mr. Connel. We went for a walk
and he showed me his fiancee's
picture. She is such a pretty girl
and he seems so proud of her.
Went out on deck about ten thirty
and watch the lights of Melbourne.
They were so pretty from the water.
Everybody was in gay spirits because

they were nearing home. Jim came
down to the boat but it was about
midnight so we did not land as
the children were both asleep. Talked
for a while in the music room
and Jim went back to the hotel.
