Liverpool to Queenstown
Sept. [September] 18. Foggy with occasional clear
streaks, the sun shining above &
lighting up the fog. Very little wind.
  Spent the day running down the
Irish Channel, the whistle blowing
& the ship moving very slowly
as we passed through the foggy
 belts.
  At about 4 P.M. we stopped &
sounded. Gun heard in fog & steamer
turned towards sound. Fog cleared & we
ran into Queenstown Harbor. Boats
filled with natives swarmed around us. 
The women were hoisted on board each
sitting in the loop of a rope. They
brought shawls, handkerchiefs and
bog oak pipes, rosaries etc. carved rather
attractively. Got off at 6.30 P.M.
Queenstown harbor alive with Gulls
mostly ridibundus. A few Kittiwakes,
two Puffinus major (?) & two Gray
Wagtails in mid-channel.
Lat. [Latitude] 51.26 N
Lon. Longitude] 13.39 W
Run 211 M.
Sept. [September] 19. Sunny but with much haze.
  Wind ahead but light and
only a moderate sea running.
Spent part of the day on
deck but most of the time
in the smoking room. 
  One of the passengers reported
some Dolphins but
I saw neither fish nor birds
of any kind.
