Excerpt from Notes of My Fourth Voyage to the Australian Colonies, Including Australia, Tasmania, and New Zealand
A beautiful day this, right through, all sunshine, and the thermometer at 60° in the shade, although we are not yet seventy-two hours from Plymouth. The water as smooth as oil, and a pleasant breeze blowing. The table is well supplied, and the cooking good; so we get on well. The officers and stewards are all very kind and nice.
