turned in shortly after. The run today was 316 miles.

Very cold and very rough. Had a wireless from 
the Kaiser Wilhelm that we were going into a bad 
northeast storm. Finished ‘‘Oliver Horne,’’ and sat 
very still in my steamer chair. Had lunch with Tom

Edwards and the captain. Had supper with Tom in 
the state room and turned in early. Run, 331 miles.

Run, 341 miles. Tom has been in bed ever since 
Tuesday, not actively sick though.

Had a simply delicious lunch in bed, specially cooked
