Laura and the steward (in the old Salvation crew man's hat) posed for me on the lower deck and I Kodaked them. The steward besought us to send him the picture to "W.A.

The boys sing afterwards when they are cleaning up the tables &c. One has a fine soprano voice. We went on deck again and thro' "Little Detroit" a very narrow passage, but not particularly picturesque. Tho' the boat made many twists and turnings today very interesting but "unphotographable" "Spanish River" was the other side of "Little Detroit" and then we turned south, passed light houses and reefs and down an open space into "Gore Bay" - with high hills and most picturesque sur- roundings. Several boats were in there freight boats, a private yacht The "Majestic" bound north &c. The dock was quite gay. As usual, it was dinner time- we always eat at the interesting places, seems to me. The early evening was lovely on deck. The sunset red. There is no moon now. The air was heavy with fragrant wood smell -
