Anchored alongside wharf at Gibraltar to repair damage done by Storm, am not posting any notes coz I doubt if mail will go quicker than we will-. Inoculated once again for cholera we go from here to Malta & then a week to Alexandria.
Hope to go ashore this afternoon "Gib" is honeycombed with galleries & big guns & a good deal of shipping is in the bay- all Nationalities We owe a debt of thanks to our Skipper for pulling us through the storm-
New life boats are to be provided here.
Went ashore & bought papers etc- At night Gib is very pretty with powerful search lights looking across the bay  €“ we have coaled & taken in fresh water
