30th.
Division, Prayers. We took on board a Seaplane and Flight Commander and crew. Payed money, but our money was suspended until we get the report from Bombay. The 90 Day is Suspended so if we are of Good behaviour for 3 months it will be a wash out. Owing to the Temperature of the Engine rooms being very high it is impossible for the men to stay down so long and it takes the whole of 4 Hour's to turn four turbines but Sub Lieutenant Britt is not sastisfied, he says that he can turn them in an hour with 4 men. And he told the P.O. Lawrence that he would have to drive the men harder. So the men went and saw Mr. Britt denyed that he said it, but if he had not said it he would have run the P.O. on the Quarter deck for stating a Lie.
