June 10 Wednesday – At sea, Sam’s notebook entry:

June 10. Rough sea. Il est defense d’apporter du petit et du vin blanc a la chambre*

She had no habits to change when she got sick — therefore was in a helpless & perilous situation [3: 642]. * (It is forbidden to take rolls and white wine to the rooms.)
