And this would also [INAUDIBLE] this
was written about a week later.
"12 Hours Out of New York After 25 Days at Sea."
"The sun always setting behind us.
I did not mean to come this far.
Baseball games on the radio, commercials

A novel by Kafu Nagai about Geisha in 1910,

tomorrow docking at 8:00.
Mop the deck, round the steering gear, pack your stuff,
and get paid.
