Description
getting round by the Solander rock; fearful night, many made up their minds that they were going down - very few slept - morning breaks - very dull and dark- all anxious - at 10 a.m. the Sun peeps thro' clouds and all things assume a brighter aspect - at noon sight land - grand scenery, snow-capped summits of Southern Alps rear their giant heads to clouds - into Foveaux Strait - sight Stewart's Island, cast anchor there for night.
Tuesday. Anchor outside Bluff, go ashore to Port Chalmers to have letters posted - a beautiful and spacious harbour - Dr Moran, Bishop of Dunedin, comes down for Srs, takes them up in the train - scenery between Port Chalmers and Dunedin, a distance of 8 or 10 miles, a perfect fairyland - on arriving at Dunedin has us driven to Dominican Convent where we are most cordially welcomed and entertained by the dear [Nuns]
