Completed a letter home.<br />Have heard rumours of the proceedings when we &quot;cross the line&quot;.</p><p>Wednesday, 27 June 1917<br />At daybreak a steamer was sighted on the horizon. The Orama with all guns out went after her. It appears that it was a Norweigan vessel of 5,000 tons and she put on full steam &amp; put up 17 knots thinking the Orama was a German. She was overhauled by the latter &amp; her papers examined &amp; then instructed to alter her course. Weather beautiful &amp; night moonlight.</p>
