Description
Busy all morning seeing luggage etc. to rights - at noon M.M Cecilia comes out in tender and gets on board the Garonne - welcomes us warmly to Australia. We spend a week in Melbourne, during which time good kind priests and nuns vie in showing attention foremost among them. Dear England Father Ryan of St Mary's, Father Quin of St Patrick's and Father Dunne of Hobart town, we shall always retain most grateful recollection of these good clergymen as well as the nuns of St Kilda and Abbotsford. Met many old friends who seem delighted to do something for us.
Thursday 25th. Embark in the Albion for the land of our adoption - meet several of the Garonne passengers who hail us with delight - rough night - crowds see us on board and wave us a last adieu. Weather continues rough until Sunday when it increases and on Sunday night we "rocked in the cradle of the deep" to some purpose..
