	In late morning the ship docks at the port of Aden. Passengers go ashore and visit the town. Withers goes into town to try and find some flowers to make up for his rejection of Ms. Berry, but can find none of quality in the dingy town. Browne stays on board as Francesca is comforting Patricia. Although he tries not to, he can't help but feel a little annoyed at Withers for being the reason for his inability to spend time with Francessca. [[Patricia Berry]] is absent from both lunch and dinner, but is witnessed by Nathaniel and Francesca that evening on the ~~dancefloor~~ with [[Julian Knight]], clearly the worse for drink and equally clearly trying to spite [[Withers]]. Francesca advises Nathaniel that anything they try to do will only make things worse, and Nathaniel advises George to stay away from the ballroom.		In late morning the ship docks at the port of Aden.
