Tues Feb 10th 1880
327 miles 40° 22 Lat S 115° 46" Long E Sails are
well filled out this morning & we are
going along in fine style We passed
cape Lewin on the Australian Coast a long
way from land of course you can see
if you refer to the map by the Lat
& Long lines The sea has gone down
considerably this afternoon probably
on account of being under the
lee of the Australian Shore. we
have one young fellow in our
cabin & a lady down the 3rd class
who are very ill. The Frenchman
who is officiating in the place
of the Deceased Doctor is very
attentive to his duties as we oft
see him up & down the various
cabins Towards evening the wind
changed & we have to be content
to go somewhat slower A testimonial
