168 Wed. Dec. 8 The storm howled pretty much through the night but died down some towards morning. Was restless during the night and was up by daylight. Had tea and work on deck; and we sailed for Sandakan at about 7. I felt lazy and tired and went back to bed and had breakfast there at about nine and got up and had my bath and dressed at 10.30. Loafed on deck until tiffin time. The clouds broke away in the morning and there has been quite a little sunshine but high wind and rough sea. We sighted the Bogayan Sulu Islands in the afternoon. It has been merely a day of rest and plain loafing: had a few little chats with a Mr. Maxwell-Wall, Dr. Osme's friend I sat up on deck in the evening and had my solitary smoker until about 10 o'clock, was close to some small islands and then to bed.
