Heard that some of our troops had gone away.  Saw the fat 'Tatakuma Maru' going out.

This evening Mrs Drown and Heath played.   People humming softly to Schubert's 'Ave Maria', 'Today I feel so happy', 'Cheek to Cheek', and roaring out 'We're going to sail away'; then a quick 'I want to be happy' - and 'Rule Britannia', everyone yelling out that Britons never would be slaves.

Fine day.

Odds & ends of news arrived but it is not worth repeating.
