Nov. 14, 1912

A very pleasant quiet day spent
on deck. Had a nap in the after-
noon. Mr. Guthrie a minister
from Vermont had traveled with
us all the way from England going
to his home in Dunedin New Zealand.
He crossed with us on the Maunganui.
Got into Hobart sometime through
the night but did not go on shore
until the morning. Had a pleasant
calm trip.

Got up tired this morning. Finished
packing, had breakfast and then
said good bye to the people we
knew. It was such a bustle getting
away from the boat. Drove up to
Melbourne town and while Jim
and Annie went out to see the
town I stayed with the children
and rested up a bit. Had dinner
at the hotel and then went to the
wharf and took passage on the 
Maunganui for Hobart. We were
delighted with the boat. It was new
clean and up to date in every way.
