AVe took in sufficient to take us to Jamaica, where wo will fill up. The dislocation of schodulo duo to the Seth Parker incident brought no dire dietary results. True, we have had no eggs or fruit siucc mid-Febru-ary, but wo have amplo tinned fruit. It is sufficient to say that the choice of roast beef and roast pork of last night’s dinner showed how well the commissariat husbanded the ship's resources.
In the forenoon the Duke of Gloucester flew in a United States amphibian to Gatun Lock, where he reembarked.
