We Had Gun Duty
Felt that it was my 'deutay to the Nevay' to turn out at 5 this morning - and then we didn't scrub decks. All I did was make up two hatch covers. Had fire quarters and then gun drill. Played chess for an hour. Instead of scrubbing hammocks at 4, I folded up my new one, turned the old one inside out, and went below. I fired one boiler for an hour with the advice of the old fireman. I like it immensely. Sat in the eyes again till about 8:30. The wind was blowing about 60 miles. Those who slept on deck must have almost been blow from their hammocks.
