Day Eighty Two
Cape Town
" Looking for land since daylight and sighted Table Mountain about 9 am. Crawled up to the land and got in the lee of the land at 5 pm this evening and consequently, the wind was gone. Close to shore we gave a display of hauling round yards and turning round in circles. A tug came out and we made all sails fast and towed in dropping the anchor at 6.30 pm. 81 days 8½ hours en route.
Heard the armistice was to be signed at 11 am on the 11th November.
This is the log of the passage completed.
