ABSTRACT
The weather was marvellous during the whole of the journey. Windy days when the steamer was tossed about were very few. Clear blue sunny sky was our portion all the time. In a few days we should be crossing the Equator, hence the position of the Sun is changing; it is nearing North about noon, then it seems to stay in the very middle of the sky vertically over our heads. The further we go, the more our conception of’ the South’ changes to geographical ‘North’.
