Paper said more landings had been made. Tales that Chinese planes had been engaging Jap planes over Kowloon.
I re-installed myself at Dina House, slept first night in room with Janet and Lillian since Mrs Pryde and Mrs Bebbington who had moved in, were on night duty. Next day moved to large room with Mrs Hilda Hutchinson (who is expecting soon), Mrs Boulton (American); Edith Palmer from Shanghai, Marjorie Cook, and Edith and Ivy Batley (all 3 Eurasians working with ARP). At night Mrs H. told us stories about the BBC where she had worked (telephonist); and Edith told us of her many travels.
Had dinner with Mr Murphy and Janet and Lillian at the Hong Kong Hotel. We were said to have sunk a cruiser off Stanley. Mrs. Boulton very nice, she wasn't in any of the essential services so wasn't eligible for meals at the Parisian Grill or Cafe Wiseman, so I used to buy bread and butter for her in Lane Crawford's - with her money.
