16th June 1940

The weather now is wonderful! The sun has been simply scorching down, and I have been sun bathing in it for nearly two solid hours. The auto alarm went off by accident, owing to electric storms.

Through not missing a day out in this diary, I am one day ahead in everything but must miss it out now, because we are arriving at Panama very shortly. Well we have now left Panama once more – I wonder if it’s the last time?

We are not sure if we are going to Curacao or Bermuda yet. I collected three letters at Panama, and am very glad to know that all are well and safe. It is rather worrying for us on board not knowing what might happen at home in the near future.

It was 82° in the shade early this morning and soon afterward we had a tropical thunderstorm and downpour. It has rained all day.

We arrived Panama 3.55am left Colon at 9.30pm.
