Sea rough Disembarked 4 p.m. with [indecipherable] & Marched 3 miles to [indecipherable] East – ruddy cold & rough choppy sea. Just discovered I left my Sovereign belt with X6/-/- in bathroom on the Boat – No blankets tonight, but too tired to bother – Relief the strain of watching the Turk is over & I think to shift 20,000 men and guns in 2 nights without the enemy knowing is good work.
