Yesterday's paper says (re 16th) that 'over 10 bombs' were released at Stanley and killed 15 internees and wounded 34. (Who are the 34 no one knows!)
Paper also says 'there have been painted white crosses, an international symbol representing 'no attack' on the roofs of the buildings.' - We are all looking for the white crosses!
Mr. C. F. Livesey died.
Mrs. K. Martin (wife of Rev. Martin) died about tiffin time.
Air raid alarm but no planes, though we heard one heavy one come over in the night.
There are two deaths in camp today:
