<p>[Page 65]</p><p>Monday, 2 July 1917 A burial on the Ascaniua took place. On guard today. In afternoon at 3.30 the "Neptune" ceremonies were held in honour of crossing the line and were a splendid success. Just as they concluded at 4.30 all men were ordered on deck with their boots on, a fire having been discovered in the coal bunkers. Relays were sent down and the fire got under control at about 11 pm. One of our men fell down the stokehold and severely cut his face & head.</p><p>Tuesday, 3 July 1917<br />Today has been refreshingly cool. We expect to reach Sierra Leone tomorrow morning. We saw a fine shoal of porpoises this morning.<br />The mail closed on board yesterday. Sent letters to K and home.</p>
