<p>[Page 60]</p><p>Friday, 22nd June 1917<br />Day broke dull and cold. At 7.30 am pulled out from wharf and anchored outside. At 10.15 we left accompanied by auxiliary cruiser Orama and 5 others of the transports viz, Ascanius, Shropshire, Benalla, Tofua & Turakina. Sea calm but cold continued throughout the day. Passed a whaling vessel at 5.30 pm.</p><p>Saturday, 23rd June 1917<br />Today have been travelling in a northerly direction and the ship has been rolling heavily, more so than on any previous day of our trip. The sea has a big swell which is striking us broadside. The air is warmer than yesterday but still chilly. A number of applicants for the R. [Royal] Flying Corps & convalescing Tommies joined us at Cape Town.</p>
