Guy is feeling better again

Friday Aug 22nd



After a very rough night we find a splendid bright morning with a very strong wind blowing & a confused sea. Lizzie, Claude & Oscar were all sick soon after awaking, but Guy came up to breakfast like a little man, before he could be served however he was sick & I sent him into the Cabin again, as soon as he had got it over, he returned to the table again & insisted upon having his bekfust and a good one he had too & he has been all right ever since. Claude & Oscar have been in bed awhile but have now come on deck & are evidently getting better fast, a little bit squeamish but not a great deal. Lizzie is now on deck & has had no dinner, this sickness is very hard on her what with suckling baby & one thing & another. There are a lot of disagreeable jobs to do where there is a baby & she is little able to do them & I help as much as I can, had baby’s bum to wash after a mess this morning & have had him to dress, so I’m sure I try my best.
