It seemed I met her in Elizabeth, New Jersey with Eddie Coward where she was playing in private theatricals.

Since then as a punishment no doubt she has lived here and her husband is Minister of the Navy with one gun boat.

This trip is very hot and I sleep on deck and look up at the stars and the light on the jib and the smoke spoiling the firmament.

It makes you feel terribly far away from the centre of civilization in front of the fire and you all trying to make out where we are at.

I hope you know more about it than we do.
It is the worst country for getting about that I ever heard of.
