Friday 18th September 1936

Punted to Staines with John and Dick Young. Up the Colne. Broadside – on at Church Street and a crash in the tunnel. Dick not too enthusiastic. Near the spot where Gwyn kissed me, last night, John tumbled overboard! Had been poling in his usual vicious style, and overbalanced.

He dried at Kapai and borrowed some of my togs. Dick gave him a glass of whisky.
Yarns at Kapai. Bed 12:30 (John thought the whole affair frightfully funny; a good sport.)
