We sailed at 6pm ((they sailed at 6pm on the 30th, ie the previous day)).
I couldn’t help but think of all our Stanley friends whom we left behind. They must have felt sad. Their ration having been cut and we are having wonderful food.
We hear lots of stories from the passengers who were interned at Japan, also the folks from North China ports. We now can’t wait until we meet the Conte Verde ((another ship)), from Shanghai, hoping to see the Zimmermanns, Thodes etc. ((These were fellow Missionary colleagues)).
