January, 1915.
Thursday, 14
Left Colombo at noon, a pretty Harbour & sight all these big boats steaming out. A lot of trouble over men leaving the ship & getting drunk.
And many Rickshaws were broken out.
I sent some Post Cards which I hope arrived safely – I bought some Mangos, PawPaws Bananas Green sweet oranges etc:- sufficient to see us to Aden.
The Chief Officer got locked up in the civil gaol, & several of our men fell off the Anchor Chain trying to get on board.
