Saturday, June 12, 1915

Turned out at 5 - but did not scrub decks. Just loafed until breakfast. Yo(?) on the bridge at 8. Captain's inspection today. He told us we had the best ship in the squadron and that if we kept up our present standard we would have the best ship in the Atlantic fleet. It sure is hot on the bridge now. I'm getting Rhino; haven't had any mail since Tuesday. I wish I could stop eating so much - but I can't.

In the cutter race the Wisconsin won. In the dingy race the Ohio won. In both we came in an easy third. We didn't get ashore - even on Bay Ridge - tho we had dope to that effect. Had movies tonight but I was on the bridge and couldn't go.
