8 Saturday ( 252-114)
S.R. 6.23,  S.S. 7.21

After breakfast we went to Muller's to enquire about the arrival of the "Saarbrucken" and what time she leaves. Did some shopping and Nora bought a shower proof coat.

We boarded the boat at about 12:45 and after seeing our baggage into our cabins we went into lunch. The ship looks very nice and comfortable and I think we'll enjoyed the trip on her. We sit at a table with the Purser and two other people. We have already got our deck chairs and bath times so we are fairly settled in. We have explored part of the boat but have not seen everything by any means. We haven't met the other Hunters yet. We received a telegram from Nora and Flo and also a letter from Hilda and Belle.

I.H.

* NOTE: I've italicized the mention of the "other Hunters" because it's still a mystery as to who they were and what their relationship was to my family. They are mentioned twice more, on the voyage.
I have been unable to obtain a passenger list for the "SS Saarbrucken" so if any readers are able to offer any suggestions as to where I might look, please DO!
