The cap- NEW ZEALAND, AUSTRALIA, AND AFRICA. 227 tain is also the pilot, and he took me up on the bridge. I have never before been on the bridge of a ship ; on a liner, it is a violation of law for a passenger to go on the bridge. The captain also took me down to his cabin, which is reached by a ladder. The mate, en- gineer and gunner occupy the cabin with him, and it is the darkest and worst ventilated place I have ever visited. Two of the beds are simply holes-in-the-wall, and the rooms of th...e gunner and mate are the funniest holes ever occupied by men. The ladder leading to the officers' quarters was so steep and slippery that Adelaide was afraid to attempt to go down. The cap- tain invited me to go out with him next Friday, and I accepted ; but when the time comes, I suppose I will back out. He says he often has visitors, and that a good many of them have seen whales caught. In the best season for whaling, a whale is caught every day, and always within fifteen or twenty miles of Durban.
