The ship anchored in Gibraltar Bay on the morning of 29 (not 30) June, and most of the passengers spent the planned “day” at Gibraltar as the excursion prospectus suggested, “looking over the wonderful subterraneous fortifications.” Clemens, Slote, and Jackson, together with one other unidentified passenger, “rode on asses and mules up the steep, narrow streets and entered the subterranean galleries the English have blasted out in the rock,” according to Clemens. They then went shopping in the town of Gibraltar, and concluded the day by listening to military bands playing operatic selections in the public park. Departure for Marseilles was rescheduled for the afternoon of 1 July in order to provide enough time to clean the Quaker City’s boilers and to resupply the ship with coal (Charles C.
