Washing day. Day hot typical weather for Tropics I presume. "Marathon" dropped behind again. Our ship Cruiser & the others slowed down at nightfall for her.

Sunday today. Church Parade held in morning. A very hot day. Went on guard at four oclock as Telephonist. Did not spend a very good time. Passed the Line at early morning hours.

Finished up guard at 4 oclock this afternoon after spending a hot & tiresome day. Our ship behind all day evidently the old craft is feeling the pinch. Is gradually getting up to the other ships tonight. In bed early.

Raining today & very miserable. Otherwise very quite. Our ship still in the rear.
