Seattle about nine, and found the day cold and crisp, with a light fall 
of snow under foot. Telephoned Frida and Helen Croonquist, but were 
unrble to find either of them. w e nt out to the Zoo, and spent all 
day with the Knudsens, mostly in his office, as it was cold and slushy 
and we were afraid of aggravating the colds we had started out with. 
My principle view of Seattle was of a row of veterinary instruments in 
a case, but we had a nice time, and caught a train at five for Van- 
couver. 
The train was a jerkwater contraption, especially irksome after 
the marvelous service given by the Northern Pacific, and was nearly 
two hours late reaching Vancouver, where we got a room at the 
Vancouver Hotel (*8) and sank gratefully into a bed that did not 
jiggle us through the night. 
Januarv 17. 
£ clear, sparkling cold day. Walked down to he dock to make 
sure the Empress of Psi? was there. Lunched at the Georgia Hotel and. 
especially enjoyed the Ontario cheese. Spent the afternoon loafing in 
our room, playing two-handed bridge, playing tag to work up electric 
shocks off the deep carpet, and drinking contraband liquor. 
Janu-ry 18. 
Walked down to dock to make sure Empress still there. Lunch 
with Mr. Sigmore (a native) at the Vancouver Hotel, and then a drive 
around Stanley P-rk with Mr. Footten, Park Commissioner. The Park 
was glorious, surrounded by the ocean, backed by the mountains, and 
full of snow-covered pines and cedars. Tea with Mr. and Mrs. Wootten 
at theiT home. Pinner with M.0.7\ at V. Hotel. 
Janu-ry 19. 
Up before daylight, packed, breakfasted, and reached the 
steamer at 8.?0. .£11 morning was spent loading, the cargo being 
unusually heavy on account of the strike, quantities of tJ. S. Mail 
taken aboard. Although we w re supposed to s^il at 11, it was 1 
before we pulled out. £ record of Fuzy, the orang-outang, bleating 
for araate, was handed us just before we left. It had come by air mail, 
labeled with instructions to handle carefully ! \Sex is the Issue**, and 
we were photographed on the forward deck accepting this ridiculous 
bit of publicity. *
