At six A.M.a cup of tea or coffee is provided for those who like it.

At seven to eight there is a light breakfast of tea, eggs, sardines, etc.

At ten, Madeira, Gin and bitters are brought on deck as a whet for the substantial eleven o'clock breakfast, which differs from a dinner only in the absence of soup.

Cups of tea and coffee are brought around at three P.M.; bitters, etc.

again at five, a good dinner with beer and claret at half-past six, concluded by tea and coffee at eight.
Between whiles, beer and sodawater are supplied when called for, so there is no lack of little gastronomical excitements to while away the tedium of a sea voyage.
Our first stopping place was Coupang, at the west end of the large island of Timor.
