Location
At Sea - Curacao - Manchester (Stanlow)
Age
18 Years

6th May 1941

I tried to do some painting today, but conditions are very difficult and time is limited.

A strong breeze has been blowing ever since we left the shores of Curacao, and short sharp waves have been breaking over the sides, or I should say, bulwarks, owing to there being only 6 feet of free-board (height of main deck from water level).

I was sorting out my drawers yesterday when I came across one of Patience Strong’s “Quiet Corners” on a piece of paper used to cover the drawer-bottom.

To quote one passage:-

“When dear one’s are in danger – and we must stand aside – to wait, to watch, to witness – heart-breaking and hands tied. We fall back on God’s mercy…….”
