1891.
Sept. 17.  
Liverpool, England.
  Cloudy with light wind. Rather warm.
  At 3.30. P.M. drove to the Cunard wharf and went aboard the
tender which left for the "Pavonia" lying in mid stream, at 4 P.
M. promptly.

  On reaching the steamer I found that my room-mate was a
young Englishman but Morrill Wyman who was on board exchanged
berths with him and came in with me.

  There were many Gulls flying about the Mersey, chiefly L.
ridibundas all in  young or winter plumage and a few argentatus
As the tide was too low to cross the bar  the Pavonia did not get
under way until after 7 o'clock.
