How you must long to see one ship, one boat, one anything, instead of the monotonous dis- tance of sea, only sea ! A sea out of whose blue waters fish were constantly jumping, and above whose white coral reefs great eagles hovered, and an innumerable number of birds winged their unceasing way, but still a sea on whose surface no fisherman's boat could be seen. How deserted, how lonely this ocean looked, from our human point of view ! There was a young gentleman who came on board the vessel at K...udat, and was only going with us as far as Sandakan. I forget what his name was, but let us call him ' Silly Infant,' as he would talk, talk unflaggingly till ' all was blue.' Even during this short period, he was so overflowing with animal spirits and information, that it would have been impossible for a second spokesman to squeeze in a word by the edge. He talked incessantly till 12.15 at night, and as we all had our beds on deck and slept on the sky- light, it was impossible to do anything but doze while this conversation continued.
