- Aug 5 Wednesday. Uncomfortable night. Had to get an a petty officer to strip Germans of extra blankets to get my two. Rain through rotten awning. We sailed at dusk. Barcelona at 10 o'clock or so. German pocket battleship, Italian battle cruiser. British 'Devonshire' (I think). Aeroplanes. At the key quay fishing with a basket for beer, minerals, newspapers. Nobody allowed ashore. Sailed for Marseilles in evening. Birthday party in Electrician Paul's cabin for Eric Tattersall. Bought him for 7/6 a pair of real Breton sailor trousers from one Harold Hal Wolfe a dissolute painter. About 30 more refugees making some 800. Lady Shepherd in lowest ward. “Burole” Sjaenke's dog kept in mortuary. Awful English fascist Dunn making Fascist signal on passing Spanish destroyer. Concert with guitarist.
