Tuesday, 23 July

I called Norton Lilly again, and again was told that the agent I needed to speak with was not in.  This time the operator took my name and phone number and said he’d have the agent call me back.

The operator also took a few moments to discuss the ship’s schedule.  When I told him it was currently scheduled to depart on Sunday, 28 July, he laughed.  He said that in the shipping business the five days between now and then was a lifetime, and that we really wouldn't know for a few more days.  More specifically, he said that the arrival time in Baltimore wouldn't be known until the ship departed from Halifax, Nova Scotia.
