After some queer demonstrations of submarine dodging we arrived at Lemnos on Tuesday 26th Oct.
Numerous transports were lying in the port together with about 20 warships. Numerous Destroyers dash & submarines dashed about, while a constant stream of supply ships passed to & fro.
The hills fringing the port were almost covered with the white tents of various camps.
Things on board had become very bad by Oct. 31st. Food ran scarce; latrines in an awful state; lice made an appearance on board & sickness continued to spread.
A newspaper for the purpose of causing a little amusement on board was brought out under the name of the Latrinograph. The first issue appeared on Wednesday 27th Oct. & created quite a sensation going to the officers & to the Flagship "Agamemnon". The second issue Friday 29th & 3rd October 31st Sunday.
