Sat 28. [28 May 1898] Up pretty late. Breakfasted with M. de P. who
told me travellers' tales. Long talk with him afterwards. He then gave
me Mireille which I proceeded to read. We met again at tea. Trictrac
dominoes, a long walk on the deck with M. de P. Slept on deck. At 3
the Commandant woke me and showed me the Scorpion couchÈ, the
Cross, the Grand CarrÈe de PÈgase, Vega and Aldebaran with its
parallellogram.
