Tuesday 4th August 1936

Of the 300 cigarettes brought home from Devonport, only 50 remain. Guess I smoke far too much. Guess I’ll light another one now, from the stub of the last.

On the whitewashed wall of the making house I saw this, scribbled in pencil; -
"Mr Dawson
Sailed
St Helier
20 July
HMS Broke"
