Journal (continued). 1915. 20 November. Saturday. Clear and calm, or light breeze. Temp. min -14°; 10:30 a., -14°; 9h. -19° Retired at 12:30 but did not get to sleep till between 3:30 + 4 this morning. Don't know what the matter was. Busied myself to-day writing on Martinique, reading, talking with the men &c. Smeared rifle well with vaseline and boxed it. Charlie has trouble nights and he can't stay longer in the gallery, the forecastle men won't stand it! so H.C.P. has fixed up a place for him in the old forecastle or deck, where he can sleep for a time. Poor boy, he sleeps so soundly that nothing can wake him during the night. He brought medicine with him for his trouble, but that is exhausted now. He seems more stupid even than when we started.
