Saturday 12th

Nice warm sunny day, the first of the trip. Stayed out on deck about all day. We made a record run of 367 miles and at noon were only 237 miles from Yokahama. Mr. Hopkins won the prize in the ladies pool. In the afternoon we sighted some funny looking boats and to-night we passed through a whole lot of fishing boats. Our first bit of land was a light-house sighted about 6:30 P.M. We all sat out on deck and had a fine time to-night. This is getting to be something like. Got $15 advance money. Seems good to have money in my jeans.
