Thurs 21. [21 January 1909] My travelling companion was a Mrs
Broadbridge, an intelligent little woman wife of an engineer who is now
on the W coast of Africa. She had been all over the world. We talked
of the suffrage and I enlisted her among the Antis. Got to Marseille at
9.30, bright but cold. My boat, the Equateus, left at noon. Very empty;
there are only 10 1st class male passengers of various nationalities
and one old French woman of 70 who goes to Jerusalem [(El Quds
esh Sherif, Yerushalayim)] every year for 2 months "pour me
distraire." I subsequently found that she was a cousin of M. de
Noailles. Pleasant afternoon but the wind got up a little before night
and I went to bed soon after dinner.
