November 21, 1917 Sports took up the whole day on deck, and a cinematography show in the evening. Weather calm. Today, we had our second Wednesday on crossing the 180 Meridian, where a day is gained or lost. This day I lost 1 1/2 years ago, and now I regained it and am again square with the calendar. We had more sports in the day on deck and at night a Vaudeville show of sorts. At the finish, I came on with My Japanese slides but the lantern was so hot that the slides would crack if held more than a minute, so could say very little about any of them. November 22, 1917 The weather today was so warm that woolen clothing is quite oppressive. We are back again in the tropics. I have been fighting a mild malarial fever daily but with no great change or success. The deck sports continued all day and at night we had a wild and exciting cabaret concert on the upper deck aft the smoking room. Dances, drinks at small tables, songs, special dances and an auction of the pool on the ships run. Everyone was jolly and time passed gaily.
