1. a Diary entry
Tuesday 28th December, 1915
Up at 6.30 a.m. went on deck had good wash and look round before breakfast. After
breakfast lounged about deck, two destroyers which had been escorting us past the
islands turned back and left us about 10 a.m. Could see smoke of some other
vessel ahead of us this morning. Had dinner of mutton broth, stewed mutton and
rabbit and rice pudding, very nice. A couple of the crew got a piano out on deck this
afternoon and gave us very pleasant concert, one played and the other sang comics
and danced. About 4 p.m. all on board ordered to wear life belts till further notice,
passing through dangerous waters. Mess orderly for tea so got tucker, cold boiled
beef, pickles, bread, butter and jam. Had a friendly hand of cards this evening, no
gambling and was in my hammock by 9 p.m.
