He was accompanied by Kaka, Chanji, Adi Sr. and Jalbhai. Rustom saw them off at the dock and Baba again said he would call Rustom to America later.
Baba and Kaka shared a cabin, while Adi, Jalbhai and Chanji occupied an adjoining one. Tipping the ship's chef and their stewards ensured that Baba's meals were delivered to his cabin. But during the voyage, Baba began regularly sending one of the mandali to the chef to demand various combinations of foods. At any excuse, Baba sent the mandali back to that particular man. After so many times, Baba's incessant demands were quite embarrassing to the men.
Finally, after some time, Baba explained what he was doing with the chef:
"The absorption of a person in a subject concerning me enables me to link, as it were, his thoughts on me. An opportunity is thereby created to work spiritually — to dislodge seats of low desires in the mental body of the person, rendering them impotent without them being put into action through the physical body. The man is also being given the chance to serve me whether he knows me or not — an opportunity he will not get again in this life."
While on board, Baba played Ping-Pong each day with Adi or Jalbhai, and he took strolls on deck. He sometimes played cards with the mandali but not for money; instead, they used glass beads or whatever else was handy, and played for these.
They arrived in Port Said on 23 November at nine in the evening, and left the ship to see a movie. After reboarding and putting out to sea, a rough storm arose and Adi, Kaka and Chanji were confined to their cabins with seasickness. Baba and Jalbhai remained well.
Baba and the mandali arrived in Marseilles on Wednesday, 28 November and took the train directly to Paris. From there, they continued on to England and arrived at Victoria Terminus in London at seven in the evening the following day. November 29th was the wedding day of the Duke and Duchess of Kent, and celebrations were being held throughout the city. As the group traveled to their lodgings, Hygeia House, past Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park and the West End, they passed through the crowds watching a parade. Baba thus had an opportunity for collectively contacting a multitude of people.
The English lovers again had Baba in their midst and they swarmed around him during his five-day stay in London.
