Excerpt
Our sea voyage was most interesting. Leaving Hobart at nine o’clock, we sped down the Estuary of the Derwent in smooth water, to the rock on which the Iron Pot Lighthouse is situated. There the ocean roll became a little too perceptible to be quite acceptable to bad sailors. Frank was really awfully kind – he fetched us rugs and things and began to say something about champagne, but before we had time to feel ill, a change in the direction of the boat brought us under the lee of Betsy Island, and so into smooth water. Later we opened up the ocean again, and again soon found shelter, this time to last till the end of the passage.
