Sailing up the St Lawrence River aboard the Canadian Pacific ship, Duchess of Richmond

Lovely day. Sunny and warm, going up the St Lawrence River. Arrive at Quebec at 8. Had to pass Doctor & immigration before we were allowed ashore. Got on shore at 10, took sight seeing bus, 26 of us to the town, I dollar each. Lovely gardens and city wall. Went to Hotel Frontenac, a very large place. Went up to the 17th floor to see the view, clean town. Got back to boat at 11.30. Boat left again at 1 for Montreal. Very pretty going up the river. Busy packing, taking our luggage at 6.
