Mapped the bridge gratings this morning after turning out at 5, and stayed on duty there until 8. Had spuds drill and dotter drill. We haven't go the sights fixed yet - or at least we haven't been able to get the two sights and the dotter gear to work together as they should.
Went on duty again from 12:30 to 4. We had to (serech?) the gratings - but Tex and I got to stay on the bridge to signal. Fruit! The Wisconsin is rotten on signals of all kinds.
Tomorrow the three ships have cutter and dingy races - about a mile course, from the BU to the BP. The dope is that we get ashore tomorrow - but I believe they're afraid to let us go ashore, afraid that we will let fall a few facts that might hurt if they became known.
Had to air bedding again today. I wish they would decide that we were free from mumps. On the bridge this evening Huscke and Post had a little fistic encounter - until we jumped in between as Chinese middlers. I'm sorry to say that I started the trouble inadvertently by laughing when Post came on our side of the bridge - he immediately took it for granted that Huscke said something about him - and a case analogous to flint and steel was quickly developed. It was good fun - since nothing serious came of it - but of course I shouldn't have done it.
