Friday Nov 27 - 14

Usual tropical day, as
hot as ever. Smooth sea.

About 20 ships some of

– 37 –

them British transports
passed South last night and
today. The Red Sea seems
alive with ships. Ship's run
272 miles. We were getting
too far ahead of the Australians
& slowed to 8 knots this evening
as N. Z. Convoy is now leading.

Gorgeous sunset in a cloudless
sky.
