1938 AD

03.11
FRIDAY~

Anne and I left the house about 10:45 [P.M.] in Burke's car--Burke driving. (Everything left in good shape at Next Day Hill. Important items packed and locked. All arrangements completed.) Drove to corner of Forty-sixth and one block east of West Street, where we met Mr. Von Glahn and an officer of the North German Lloyd. They got in our car, and we drove in the freight entrance and boarded the Bremen without difficulty (via crew's gangplank). Were taken to a room in the crew's quarters where we were to wait until ship sailed before going to our own stateroom. After about fifteen minutes an officer came to tell us that the press had learned we were on board and were looking all over the ship for us.
Left dock about 12:30. An officer knocked on our door and said everyone had gone ashore. He escorted us to our room. A very well-designed stateroom. I like the appearance of this ship.
Can now really think about seeing Jon and Land again.
