We expect to reach Sydney some time on Thursday - We had to stop for 1 ¾ hours on Saty morng while some tubes in the condenser were being fixed up but so far that has been our only moan - All is well on board though I've one man with chronic appendicitis & another with fits but I hope to get them thro safely & land them on the beach -
Socially all goes well - Bridge evy - eveg - We are teaching Herbert - He's certainly the worst learner I've ever seen met - A University man with a double degree but all the same his brain is a very slow one - He fails to grasp in toto the theory & practice alike - The paymaster (Hogarth) is a very good player - Keen & capable both as regards work & play & decidedly an acquisition - We all look forward to Sydney & don't mean to go out in the
