1954-08-06 抵達古晋

6th August 1954



-
 清妹如面,

 我在星期三夜晩抵達古晋,到蘭姐家時是八点半多鈡,航程及經过略述如下:

 八月一日星期日晩四点到納閩,船泊在新碼头,这是笫一次.星期一晚五点離納閩,航程中虽無大浪,可是有湧,船身上下搖擺,虽不暈船但亦不舒服,所以只好靜臥床上.
 星期二晨四点到咪哩,七時,移民局人員耒查護照,在船上早做了一張表格,其中有題及”此行目的何在”? “擬住多久”?答(填寫在表格上)”探親”和”不定”.
 檢查員看了護照及表格,問了幾句跟填寫在表格相同的話,即交回護照.
 我在古晋登岸,不必担保,居留時間沒有限定,唯居留三個月後要做居民証.

 在咪哩船是不泊碼头的,所有貨物及塔客都是由小船駁到大船的,離咪哩時,是上午十一時卄分.这此些航程,船虽不很搖擺,但是覺得不舒服,老楊也是如此.在咪哩上船的大人及小孩有十多個都是和我们同艙房,其中幾個女人都呕了.所以艙房内很濁氣,因為我俩不舒服,所以不敢跑上艙面上去.老楊在下面的床,他隔離的女人就是呕的,風扇虽是轉個不停,但仍不够風涼.我在上面的床,有些海風從船窗吹進耒,這就非常的好了.

 星期三(八月四号) 午十二点三刻刭古晋(青山)港囗,適因潮退,故停航. 因昨夜有風雨,所以開慢,致使不能及時趕到. 午後三点半開船,到本丁時是五点三刻,頭二等客在此过電船到本丁碼头上岸.三等客及貨物也在此过汽船,等到貨物吊完这过船,船開時是六点三刻,一小時後,即七時三刻,到古晋市碼头,沒有人耒接我俩,只好自搬行李上碼頭. 行李是被海関人員撿查过了,但是很隨便的.

 老楊僱了汽車先送我到蘭姐家後才去他家裡. 蘭姐説,甥輩等已倫了一天,為甚么基舅这沒有到呢.蘭姐買了一頂單床蚊帳,又做了一個枕头,是預備給我用的,因為她不会想到我己有帶耒了.

 告訴媽媽,蘭姐家人統統安康,並代向香姐張嫂致謝.霞飛欢喜得很,當她試穿着妳給她旳的新衣時. 紙短情長,下次再谈,就此搁筆,祝妳快樂! 媽媽面前,請代致候!

 妳愛,
      錫基于啟

 一九五四年八月六日
