I found a [sick?] waist with no wrap very comfortable
On Wednesday morning July 26, we were called early
for Madiera. The ship anchored about 6 a m and at 6:30
we had bought tickets for a "round trip" The chief
object being breakfast at the [Monte?] Palace
Hotel ^{(10 shillings)}. We went ashore in a gasoline launch,
and there entered a cow carriage, unique in

appearance. This was drawn over rough cobble
stones, with astonishing smoothness. It brought
us to the "station" where we took a little
train on an inclined road leading up the
mountain side. The top afforded [up? us?] a
beautiful view of the harbor and town
of Funchal.
