March 25 Tuesday – The Kanawha was en route around the western tip of Cuba, then south and east to Kingston, Jamaica. Sam’s notebook gives their progress: “Turned western end of Cuba 8 a.m. Balmy weather. Deep-blue sea. Flying fishes. It is 756 knots from Havana to Kingston. We have permits from H.B.M. Consul” [NB 45 TS 7]. Note: Sam’s ship log gives nearly verbatim the same report.

Livy’s diary: “Mme. Skabo; Mrs. Katherine Willard Baldwin & Mary Forth came to luncheon. Mme Skabo

(a Norwegian composer) & Mary Forth staid on to tea” [MTP: DV161].
