Saturday 6 October 1917
Rain & gusty day.
Our boat begins to roll once more but no swell. Still we sail N.W., sun now sets well to port side & up towards nose of boat.
Drawing animal competition held 8 p.m. Animals wonderful & awful. As usual most of competitors told each other before guessing time thus rendering "we's" out of the running.
Today we crossed the equator, moderately cool with showers & strong head wind blowing.
Having a sense of humor helps one immensely as for instance – one sister tells me she is cousin to Lady Warwick or thereabouts & is holder of letter from F. Nightingale. 2 others (just trained) lay down the law about private nursing, tact, etc., & are "bored stiff" by diagnosing their friends diseases. One listens & wonders.
