Last night was the last on board the ship and early this morning I was hard at work unfastening everything in the cabin—beds, bedding & furniture. We succeeded in getting enough on shore to make ourselves comfortable for the night. The cot was brought up and placed in its proper position in the new house, and this, the first night, promises to be as comfortable as any other.
