Saturday 18th July 1936

That infernal “pipe” at 5.30 and “Heave ho my hearties, lash up and stow!”
Rainy, squally, cold, high SW wind. Worked in the focsle flat and later on the windward side of the iron deck. Keeping busy, not really doing anything useful.
After dinner “make and mend” piped.

(Originally written) Am in my hammock at forrad end of focsle. Foulkes left, Sands right. The focsle is quiet.
