Departure from Bombay aboard the "Moldavia" |
| text: |
I was up early & had breakfast at the Club. Paid my Club chits (17R/8/0), my subscription as a temporary member (32R) having been paid by Hetherington. I was not sorry to take my things from and see the last of the Taj Mahal Hotel, a pretentious & vilely-run place, and taxi to Ballard's Pier to go on board. The "Moldavia" cast off at 1 p.m. & went straight out to sea. Very calm, with a light breeze. No movement. I met Sir William & Lady Edwards on board & had a long talk with them. Saw a few Gannets (?D.piscator) and Tropic Birds (Ph. indicus). |
