Previously we were shifted from the stern right up to the bow of the boat - the worst of all quarters &  there was soon such a mess down there with the sick that the place became uninhabitable. In fact only a few ventured down in any of the quarters &  they were  engaged in bringing up food to those on deck.  However the brave few have disinfected the quarters &  they are beginning to lose their stench.

Jack &  I &  Ron Frazer have bee pretty bad but we are getting over it now. We all have been sprawling on a particular spot on deck too sick to move. We have existed on dry bread and apples - the latter supplied by Ron.
