July 10 Sunday – Sam was en route to Bremen, Germany on the S.S. Lahn. Sam’s notebook:

Sunday, July 10, S.S. Lahn — very heavy seas, & a ship that wallows around like a barrel, but does not pitch. … / Pumped the Atlantic through the ship 16 times on the passage. … / There is hourly inspection & report, all night, in these ships. / No Sunday service ever. But band music 7 am / People wear nice street clothes on shipboard, now. / Steamer chairs rented by a Co. / Ice cream carried from N.Y. / Ice cream & strawber at sea /…/ Write Mr. Hall to give Burbank 10 p.c. till $2500 [NB 32 TS 10-11].
