Sunday Oct 21st
It gets very monotonous on the boat at times, one hardly knows what to do. A fine afternoon, after the cold weather we have been having. Church was held on No 3 hatch. Capetown is all the talk now.
Monday Oct 22nd
The Priest (Roman Catholic) on board is a hard case. A real fine fellow. He came down & had dinner with the boys on our deck today, of course everyone was good. Was paid £1 today.
Tuesday Oct 23rd
Pte W. Castles, of the 54th Btn died suddenly this afternoon. Sea very choppy with a fair swell. Extremely windy & cold.
Wednesday Oct 24th
Very windy today but not so cold. Pte Castles was buried "at sea" this morning at 11 am, full military honors. L/cpl D'Arcey died of pneumonia this afternoon.
