Last night the destroyers that are guarding us dropped a few depth charges but the enemy was not hurt. A battle ship had joined the convoy during the night. A small storm came up but didn’t last long. In the afternoon another battle ship and the destroyers joined the convoy. A Lt. & these privates were first in the brig for shinning a light on deck last night. Today we learned a little more about our mission. I sure hope the Arabs are friendly. To day was also pay day. I drew 12 dollars and lost most of it playing cards. Money wont do me any good now.
