Nov. 12, 1889
Much rain fell during the night, but it was
clear this morning. After breakfast I remained
at the Hotel, the others of the Party took a walk through
the City. After lunch we boarded the steamer Islander
and were soon steaming across Burrands Inlet for
Georges Bay, where we met a strong wind and rough
water. while passing Georges Channel some of the
Ladies were a little sea sick. We saw a number of
whales spouting in the distance and lashing the
water into foam in their spouts. We reached Victoria
about 9 o'clock. We secured our berths on the steamer
North Pacific, some of the party walked out. We
retired to our berths in good season.
