into a storm during the night. Just about starting of the Bight. Good few of the Boys Onkaparinga. Have 7 Nurses on Board, we get along very nicely – Capt Rhodes, Major Argyle are very nice – even when I call them at midnight. Bitterly cold.
Sunday
7/2/16
Very cold. C. England service at 10 am R.C. 11 am. No sight of land, doing an average 12 knots. Quite a novelty to see a school of whales – some I should say 30 feet long – quite near the Boat, plenty of sharks.
My watch has gained 35 minutes against ships time so had to put back. A huge roll on, quite a number of Boys off their "Mungaree". An average of 20 cases in the Hospitals, also some cases in the isolation ward. Still feeling fit & laughing at the others – no saying for how long.
