Text Appearing Before Image:
on it, so tasted the water, which was sweetand good. I have often seen quite big ponds onfloes fast to bergs, and we took water on boardsometimes from these. For the next few days we steamed south with-out seeing anything of interest. The weatherwas cold, but fine, and the ice less as we nearedSt. Johns. We were careful after dark and gen-erally steamed slow. The crew were employedin cleaning up. Ajyril 19th. Saturday. Arrived at St. Johnsin the morning and took our usual berth.

Now I could see that the ship would be verycomfortable with only her own crew, and the deckclear of boats, as it would be on the next partof the cruise, so I decided to go. It took a veryshort time to put our seals out, and, as it was Sat-urday afternoon by that time, all the work ceaseduntil Monday morning. I heard an amusing story about a man beingnearly drowned in a tank of oil. A sealer camein and four of her tanks nearest to the boiler hadthe sculps break down into oil, owing to the heat.Wh
