Bright sunshine at morn & eve.
Cloudy most of day with heavy rain
in forenoon. Strong west wind.
  Spent entire forenoon repacking
my trunks & bags. Morrill Wyman
called at 12.45 & lunched with us at
the hotel. We saw him afterwards
at the wharf where he was most helpful 
about our luggage. We had a perfect
mountain of it 13 trunks & 12 suit cases,
bags, etc. We drove down with some 
of them at 2.30 & had to wait nearly
an hour before the Ivernia came in
to the floating dock. The next hour witnessed
a scene of the wildest confusion & our
things were scattered everywhere but all
turned up safely by 8 P.M. We sailed
promptly at 5 P.M. in the teeth of a 
very fresh wind. A cloud of Gulls
followed the ship until dark.

At Sea - Queenstown & off S. [South] coast Ireland.
Liverpool Bar to Queenstown 228 knots
Ther. [Thermometer] WED. [Wednesday] OCT. 6, 1909 [October 6, 1909] Wea. [Weather]
Fine
Clear & cool with strong westerly
wind and ever roughening sea.
Reached Queenstown about 9 A.M. &
steamed into harbor nearly to town.
Great numbers of Gulls there. During most
of day we continued in sight of
land & from 5 to 10 miles from it
as we ran out to sea keeping a course
nearly parallel to south coast of Ireland.
  It is a rugged, desolate coast with
rocky cliffs in places & mountains
which seemed to rise 1000 to 2500 feet.
  There were birds innumerable constantly
in sight. Most abundant were the
Gulls & Manx Shearwaters which we 
saw by thousands. There were a
good many Terns, & a few Gannets
& Puffins. Most of the passengers
were in chairs on deck. I was
in smoking room a good deal.
