a mile from the shore. The coast is very hilly & looks covered with lovely green trees. It was simply beautiful on deck yesterday. The Captain of the boat is a fine fellow & remembers Ella. I believe he is very much in love with a nurse that went on the last trip of the Kyarra.
I'm not at all interested in any of our officers – neither is Dorothy. The sisters from the other states are very fond of the men, but we are all a happy family. I wish we could get some home letters at [censored] but no such luck. It is horrid not seeing the daily papers. Wonder how the war news is. Hope you are all well & mind you write every mail, the letters will be forwarded to us where-ever we are. I shall write some more letters to my friends at next port of call. How did you enjoy your little rest at Tourquay? Hope the weather was good & that Eddy was able to go in bathing. Did Belle & Ethel manage to have a few days, I hope they did. We shall all be pleased when we get to work, but having a fine rest. Having a Fancy Dress Ball next week & all kinds of amusements now. Have a Sports Committee formed.
