Well we got to Kawieng about 3 pm – Thorold – the administrator came off – At 4 pm we put out to sea without having landed – The weather was perfect – Once & again I saw those wonderful seascapes that attracted me so much the first time – To day – they were clear cut as cameos & as beautiful as ever – Seen thro driving mist with the roar & lash of the combers I think the effect is even more magical – We are chasing the Destroyers with a message for them & wireless went – crack – crack – every 15 minutes all night until we got them at dawn – We have changed our course & are said to be going back to ?Rabaul – War without wireless seems impossible –
