Went on watch from 12 - 4 this morning. After I turned in at 4:30 I couldn't go to sleep. After quarters I tried to cork, but for some reason I couldn't. Hagen boobed the game - he tried to get a haircut during drill, whereupon Turner, seeing the black gang had nothing to do, went to Jacobs, who decided that we would go to gun drill. If they do much more of that I'll quit the black gang. The sea was even smoother today than yesterday, tho the swells still made us roll. Saw two turtles, one 6 ft. in diameter, the other smaller, two snakes and a shark, besides the usual number of flying fish and porpoises.
