The dinner was best have had this trip in London.
Compagnie Belge Maritime Du Congo.
S.S.

February 11th, 1907.
To-morrow, we will be in Banana, which is the first port in the Congo.
When I remember how far away the Congo seemed from New York and London, it is impossible to believe we are less than a day from it.

I am so very glad I came.

The people who have lived here for years agree about it in no one fact, so, it is a go-as-you-please for any one so far as accurate information is concerned, and I am as likely to be right as any one else.

It has been a pleasant trip and for us will not be over until some days, for at Matadi, which is up the river, we will probably live on the steamer as the shore does not sound attractive.
