Excerpt from Notes of a Tour in India and Ceylon: During the Winter of 1888-89
Some people got off last night, and were taken on a boat to Plymouth, amongst them, I think, was the architect of the ship. We expect to be at Gibraltar on Tuesday night. Should like to explore all the boat and walk about and examine, but I do not want to be ill at all, and as long as I keep still I am all right, occasionally Sleepy and stupid and chilly; one's feet get cold My deck chair is very comfortable. We went 360 miles in 24 hours to-day.
