The old cook can turn out the eats when called upon, and no mistake. Morton, Jo, Weddell and Forbes were up for chop tonight, and I hope they made a dinner out of it. The skipper didn't bring the machine, but Jo unwound a bunch of his narratives, so we weren't altogether funereal.

It was an early night, and to bed by eleven. I'm still on the waterwagon, and think I shall stick. You're just as well off without it, here. Keep the news from Louis!

Jo lunched five or six of us at the Club today. Barnes was one of the gang. Nuf ced.

I'm kinder tired of the game out here. I'm not a good mixer, anyway, and I'm becoming more of a teetotaler every day. It's too hot here to make an effort to get acquainted with people, and as long as I don't giveadam for them, and they don't for me, why in hell should I bother myself? Sitting around that table at noontime is the most uninteresting pursuit I ever tackled and dropped.
