Rabindranath in America 2nd times-Seattle, Washington (contd-2)

The journey by ship through Pacific ocean was not pleasant.On 19th Sept. Rabindranath wrote to Mrs. Moody;

"We had a bad time in the sea crossing the Pacific --some portion of the voyage being stormy. I do not mind meteorological misfortune if I can have a decently fair weather of good luck in your country."

Mukul De wrote that the ship halted at Hanolulu and Vancouver before reaching Seattle and wrote to Rathindranath and Pratima two days before reaching America on 16th Sept.;
" I have drawn four portraits of Gurudev of which two are drawn today and two were drawn yesterday. Tree of them to some extent better but the fourth does not resemble Gurudev. That was gifted to the Captain of the ship. After many days sun rays became very bright . None was there in the cabin at the bottom. Everyone came out of their cabin and bathing in the sun.The females are walking on the deck in arms and singing, laughing and walking.Their joy knows no bound.A group of Russian are lying on the deck. I,too,are writing letters taking a shelter in some shaded portion of the deck. Gurudev is always writing something, Pearson is always typing things. Some times I am drawing pictures. All of us three are busy according to individual choice. "
Lastly S.S.Canada Maru reached Seattle port on 18th Sept. Gurudev gave to the Captain a written note which was incorporated in his manuscript;
" To the Captain of S.S.Canada maru /you love your swordand the Sea/for you love freedom and her/stormy music of danger."
