AUGUST 7th 1941

Convoy

5th Day at Sea

The Warwick Castle which crashed into us was badly damaged for you could see the sleeping berths, also taking water.

The Warwick Castle was carrying 400 H.TS girls so it turned round and went back to England with two Destroyers, and left us in the middle of the ATLANTIC.

They looked at our damage, we had holes below sea level but decided to try and catch Convoy up.
 
CODE OF CONVOY

The code of the convoy is not to stop for anyone, so there we was all by ourselves.

We lost six of our life boats.

We are now trying to catch up to Convoy.  The Winsor Castle is the fastest ship in the convoy so may have a good chance.

CONVOY SPEED 13 KNOTS.

OUR SPEED 16 KNOTS

We are in dangerous waters

Sighted two whales today.
