Buenos Aires voyage mood and scattered shipboard notes
The narrator recalls an outward run to Buenos Aires with ideal weather and heavy loading by stevedores, then reports on mixed experiences at the Orly Hotel, language barriers, and five passengers abandoning ship. They praise Buenos Aires boulevards and Paris-like streets but note costs similar to Winnipeg and warn of disappointing expectations before resuming the voyage to Montevideo.
