<p>[Page 41]</p><p>Tuesday, 15 May 1917<br />Morning broke clearer with seas calmer but during day rain set in with rising seas. We are not yet out of the Bight and expect to make Fremantle on Sunday. Had a yarn with Theo Meillion on deck at night.</p><p>Wednesday, 16 May 1917<br />Not quite so rough today but a heavy sea towards night. It is said that the ship rolled to an angle of 45&ordm; to starboard &amp; remained so for 3 seconds last night - of course the rumour is ridiculous.</p>
