More fanatical rumours knocking about. (Jap. Premier commits Hare-Kare & the Japs intend to withdraw from some of their captured territory. Aleutian Isles evacuated & 10,000 Axis troops sunk en route to Lybia)

Musical evening in 31 St. Stevens. OK too.

Fine hot day.

We all went to town this a.m. and I was lucky enough to find a pair of white shoes. All passes had to be turned in at 1 o'clock and no more shore leave after that. We were told that we would sail at 7 a.m.

After supper we sat and talked to the Thodes.
