Fog horn going all night and all thro’ the day at intervals. No observation could be taken. Had no service tho’ there were one or two clergy on board – one is an awful guy. Moody & Sankey hymns in the evening.
This diary is being kept during my voyage to Australia and back which I am undertaking for the benefit of my health and as a cure (light and inexpensive) for headaches.
I left England on Thursday 18th April 1878.
