_Malta._--I have now been in the water six days and three nights
continuously, and yet am nearly as fresh as when I started. I
attribute this marvellous fact to my practice of sipping ----'s
Essence of Coffeetine.
_Aden._--Water extremely hot, but am still confident of success.
Went to sleep for an hour in the Red Sea, smoking one of ----'s
Anti-alligator cigarettes, which are a real preventive against
crocodile annoyance.
_Madras._--Am continuing my side-stroke but somewhat languidly. I
half regretted that I was unable to go on shore to see the Indian
curiosities. Much refreshed after partaking of the contents of ----'s
Patent Luncheon Basket.
_Singapore._--Have now been continually in the water for six weeks.
Regret that my log should be so "scrappy," but my time just now is
very much occupied by other things. Tired, but confident of success.
During the last fortnight have fed with great relish upon ----'s
_Puree de foies gras._ It is not only cheap, but excellent.
_New Hebrides._--Am now within measurable distance of the end of my
journey. Quite accustomed to the water. However, greatly fatigued, and
very pleased to eat some of ----'s Alimentary Condiment.
_Pitcairn Island._--Glad to be again in these latitudes. My strokes
are now very feeble. I should have to give in were it not for ----'s
Medicated Mutton Broth, which seems to be most nourishing.
_Cape Town._--In a fainting condition.
