Ima does not write about the enigmatic Mr. Scott, but
she writes about other passengers aboard the President Lincoln on that crossing in the summer of 1907.
The passengers are mostly German so we have fallen completely in
to the spirit of things, even trying out our bits of “Deutche” words on them.
Really, though, have made comparatively no acquaintances. My table seat to my
right though is occupied by a lovely old gentleman Rev. Wilkie from Florida and
his wife to his right. A Mr. Dick from Newcastle Eng. Has played bridge with us
and defeated us all. Much of our time has been spent at cards, some at reading,
we have been dutiful enough to dive into guide-books--then we’ve walked
leagues. Shuffle-board is a great game- I can’t play it much, but intend to
spend lost of time at it on the return. Mr. Thompson and I matched Mrs T. &
Mr. Dick at “ring-toss” --they beating us by one point only.

Hogg was never one to lose, if she could help it. No doubt there was a rematch.
