at the ressurection of the dead.

Sun Jan 8th 1880
512 miles 39° 56" Lat S 101° 40" Long E After a
good boneshaking we tumble out pretty
early As you lay in your bunk the ship
heels to one side and sends you thump
against the side of the bunk & then
back again as she rolls back. It is fine
fun to see us washing on a morning

water in his bowl the ship gives a
lurch & over it goes bowl & water &
oft the man with it till the side
of the vessel stops his further
passage We are rightly rocked in the
Cradle of the Deep to-day The heaviest
rolling we have had We saw a
whale blowing but a good way off
& soon after a monster shark went
swimming past a few yards from
