Transcription Notes
Make friends with a man named Woltner a descendant of the Sculptor, a Suffolk man who is a relation of Lady Kaye Butterworth and have a nice talk with him. Heard rumour last night that Greeks were mobilizing against us and that we were evacuating Salonika. Hope it not true — it kept me awake last night. Maud & Mrs Vissing made their appearance about 12.30, had lunch, and then retired to their cabin to rest about 1.45! Turned up to tea at 4, dressed for dinner at 6 retired to bed at 8.30! That is the way she lives on board. Says it is the effect of the sea but really she is just as sleepy on land. Run 327.
