Weather very pretty but it got very warm. Got up at 4 o'clock. Breakfasted at 6 o'clock and broke camp and was ready to march off to pier No. 7, a march of about five miles. Enroute we received hearty cheers on all sides; we hardly had room to march on the streets. Our mascot Boots and Read marched in line with us in uniform. We arrived at the pier at 11 o'clock where the ladies of the Red Cross Society gave us sandwiches and coffee. For dinner, at about 2:30 p.m., every man was on board the Zealandia from which we gave our farewell speaches and cheers and thanks and a good many of kindly expressions for out treatment at the hands of the good people of California. We then steamed out about one mile into the Bay where we anchored until we received orders to leave on our trip across the Pacific.
