Up early every day now on account of getting was to wash in issued & if not early only get a little. The late line of ships are away to the port side jumbled up & we heard had had a collision. Travelled 265 miles (the record so far). Just finished reading "Black Dwarf" & "A Legend of Montrose" by Sir W. Scott. Have started "Kenilworth". It had been rumoured that the Ascanius & Shropshire collided last night & has now been confirmed.
