Was awake very early. Must have “smelt” the land. Sighted mainland of Arabia. Red Sea tomorrow. Church parade in uniform. Drummer, cornet and organ “Lusitania” wireless re loss of Lusitania.
(The passenger liner Lusitania was torpedoed by a German U-boat on May 7. 1 198 of the over 1900 crew and passengers on board perished.Debate raged as to whether it was a legitimate target. The huge number of civilian casualties was a shock.)
