[Page 39]
the Atlantic ocean the sea hereabouts is not the usual azure blue that characterises the Eastern and Central Mediterranean but a dirty blackish colour, similar to cabbage water.
Sunday 27th June. Very strong wind blowing from early morning, sea rather rough, but the sun shining brightly. The strong wind retards our progress somewhat & will delay our arrival in port. somewhat At 4pm hills on the coast of Spain can be seen on the Port Side & Morocco on the S.B. When I retired at 10pm the light outside Gibraltar was expected to be seen at any minute
Monday 28th June 1915. Woke about 4am and saw lights of a town extending apparently to the sky. Water quite still & ship static indicates our arrival outside Gib.
