Turned out at 5 and turned to at 5:30. General field day had started. I worked on the boat deck with the rest of the 2nd classmen. We scrubbed paintwork then washed down the deck with sand and holystones. When we got thru with it - about 10:30 - it was clean, and so was everything on the boat deck. In the afternoon, we had nothing to do. I was too tired to do anything anyway so it was just as well that way. We could easily stand a little rest after these two days of real work. I'm tired. I stayed up in the eyes with the gang until about ten.
