same table reminded me of a
very pleasant time in Cookstown
but that has nothing to do with
a Voyage to Australia. Later,
I called down at the ship, the
crew sign articles tomorrow at
4 o'clock, at which function I
must present myself. Turned in
with Bertie tonight, the bed is
so narrow that we overlap at
the sides, luckily, however I do
not squirm or kick in my sleep so
there is no danger to limb or
life by reason of midnight
somersaultings: for his own sake
and that of peace, I hope Bertie
is also a sound sleeper. If
I fell out and did not waken
I would not object to finish
my slumber on the floor,
(alas my poor brother - If I did wake)
