Sinopsis
Excerpt from Notes of a Tour in India and Ceylon: During the Winter of 1888-89
Some people got off last night, and were taken on a boat to Plymouth, amongst them, I think, was the architect of the ship. We expect to be at Gibraltar on Tuesday night. Should like to explore all the boat and walk about and examine, but I do not want to be ill at all, and as long as I keep still I am all right, occasionally Sleepy and stupid and chilly; one's feet get cold My deck chair is very comfortable. We went 360 miles in 24 hours to-day.

Excerpt from Notes of a Tour in India and Ceylon: During the Winter of 1888-89
Friday, Dec. 7th, 1888. - Yesterday R. and I arrived at First Avenue Hotel in London from Leeds; B - e and I - a travelled with us. Dr. G - t the only other passenger in our carriage; we all lunched in the train. A - t came to see us; then R. and I went to Silver's etc., B - n came to stay all night, he, B - e, C - e and B - y dined with us. R. had bought us sweet violets at Peterborough, and I had brought chrysanthemums from Quarrydene. We spent a pleasant evening. J. and M. H - g dropped in after dinner, they had been at O. P - e's wedding.
And now we have actually started! M - y, R - d, F - rd and Cie, May and I - a came to Liverpool station to see us off; F - d, A - y, C - e and B - y came on to the docks with us, and several of K - y's people came to see her off.
Most of the sailors are Lascars; they have blue cotton coats, white trousers, coloured handkerchiefs round their waists, and red turbans with embroidered tops. We have seen the Lock gate opening; very interesting. Glorious weather. Moon risen. Have seen sea gulls. Have spoken to Miss D - r or rather Mrs. S - s. We have a deck cabin, measuring six feet by eight. I think we are very clever to stow away things in it as we have done, in such a small space. A. G's cabin pocket very useful.
Saturday, Dec. 8th. - Writing on deck; some people ill already. Rather cold in saloons; we have meals in what is called Ladies' Saloon, but gentlemen are there; too near the cabins for meals, I consider, but the big saloon is full, and we cannot change places at present.
