Wednesday Feb 3-15 – Oh – this is a variety show & we just come & go – I was very fit this morning because I had been most careful last eveg – Nothing wd make me take a drink after dinner – only a lemon squash – Besides I had two young medicoes with me – The guests were happy when they left - very happy as we saw them down the gangway – Serve them right said No 1 – they were very hospitable to us & it was up to us to see them 'out & under' – That's the naval Spirit – I was up early & held sick parade & then got the whaler – 8 men & I went about the harbor in style – visiting ships where I had patients – I finally pulled up at the Garrison Hospital with a Sailor man who had a bad arm – I opened it there & dressed it & then signalled Fantome & they sent a boat in for me – On going inboard I found that the Fantome was to return to Sydney – Presently Skeete of the Una sent me a note saying I was going to the Una & he to the Fantome & asked me to lunch on the Una – The Una is to be up here a year – I am told – Fairly cool I reckoned – There had been a Buz about the Fantome going South
