Saturday 20 October 1917
Very hot weather but we manage to play quoits, knit and generally get through the day very successfully. Of the travelling companions I have none has appealed to me as a future friend save S. Henry, Longreach, Q. She stands along as a fine character.
Principal trials on board mentally –
Loss of a well informed man such as have been used to – to impart necessary information on everything. Loss of just one real friend to whom one could confide the hundred and one little things of daily life. A great feel of future loneliness in a strange land but it may be less fearsome than it looks.
