Fancy the air in these heavy stone places here in this tropical hell.   Incidentally all the "white" buildings are down on the water side, bar those at Gloster & the barracks.

30th   All efforts to refloat have failed so no one wins in the sweep bar the promoter & we are to abandon ship at once.   An excellent programme.

1st Dec   Came off yesterday in nigger boats towed in strings, M.G's last ashore.   Told we must go into barracks a short distance from wharf. Marched through town into jungle & found ourselves on a winding mountain path. Carrying backpacks etc., one Hell of a Climb.  One Hell of a Time,  P.B.I.!   We fell into Barracks one by one in the last stages of exhaustion
