Thur. 13 May 1915
We move to an anchorage inside the boom & the "Hymettus" comes alongside. We hear that the battleship "Goliath" was torpedoed in the straits by a Turkish destroyer last night. The "Queen Elizabeth" is in Port Mudros coaling. No one seems to know what we are to do here. I believe the skipper does – and he's mum, you bet. My cold is disappg. rapidly. The second mate gave me some books.

Gettg. pretty warm. We have orders to sail for Alexandria & left at 3.30 p.m. The Admiral transferred his flag from the Lizie to the Lord Nelson. We leave off doing watches and have a chance to get some sleep. Had a box with Tickner in eveng. & find that my wind is none too good. Read morng. Post of Apl. 6.
