[Page 16]
Troops kept coming on board up till about midnight. Shortly afterward the steamer took her departure for Egypt. I believe some of the boys are still ashore but they'll have to stay there now. When she left I was in the Hospital. Had a fearfull time was absolutely poisoned, nearly everyone who went ashore was more or less sick. On top of that some of the late arrivals brought fines ranging from 5-0-0 to £15-0-0.
28th-3-16 Tuesday
Discharged from hospital this morning. Am alright but the inside of my stomach is absolutely raw. The ship & everything on board are simply filthy.
29-3-16
I believe the months loss of pay has been lifted from the fines mentioned above, that brings the penalty down to 5-0-0.
