Tue. 21 Aug.
Ill last night. Violent pains. A dose of opium (tincture) which I got from Fritz of the hospital in the early morning was almost as welcome as a release-order. Went into hospital this morning. The hospital (including a small operating room and a dispensary) is on the main deck under the bridge. 4 swinging cots and 3 bunks in the main room; another small room with four bunks is just across the passage. It is a fearful place; all artificial light; (the only bunk which gets any daylight is the one squeezed away in the top corner.) The orderlies are incompetent, careless, and slovenly. Wolf the Omart is a very decent chap but he is quite incompetent.

Rees is in the next bed, "lead-swinging"
