| There was a good children�s concert given in the morning. In the afternoon we did a little towards packing up, and then changed our English silver for Australian. After tea there was a classical concert given by the two main snobs of the ship. There are many classes of people on the ship, and you can get on with most of them, but you always find those who will not look at you or speak to you, but you don�t have to let them get you down. The topic this evening was the carry on last night. We heard that it was gala Night indeed for some. The captain and First Officers of the ship had played a lovely game, pouring ginger beer over one another�s heads! These are, of course, the kind of rumours one hears on a ship. We played Komboli, or Housey Housey (Bingo), for an hour and then ended up having a singsong until after eleven, and that was another day. |
