them away to work in another part of the island, & bringing them back at night. In afternoon we had a sudden storm, with the largest hail I have ever seen.
25th
Same as yesterday. Tired & sick.
26th
Had a day's rest. Went out in a sailing boat to the flagship of the fleet, H.M.S. Exmouth. Had a good look round among the guns, etc. They have a lovely string band on board, and it sounded lovely after the rough time we have had. Got sea-sick coming back in a naval pinnace, & a soaking in the rain to boot. Had tea with Jack Pettit in bakehouse.
No work for the Turks to-day as our Friday is their Sunday.
Tried to return to the peninsula, but the M.O. wouldn't let me.
27th
Went out on H.M.S. Bacchante a 4 funnelled warship.
28th
M.O. agreed to let me go back again to-morrow, going first to Mudros for M.E.
