The line baptism when we passed the line in the southern hemisphere and Neptune and his entourage came on board. It is I, Clementz Johan Gilbert Mattsson, who is thrown into the baptismal vessel and is then taken up as Neptune's disciple. The North Star begins to disappear, the Southern Cross appears.
The journey took 31 days from Kotka to Rio De Janeiro, it was a long one with about 8 knots of speed and 2800 HP, which turned the bow of the 8200 tons S/S Herakles of Helsinki.
Christmas was celebrated in Rio, with about 35-40 C during the days. It was the Christmas spirit. No snow on the Christmas tree.
