— Psalm 56:8

Had an exciting day. Was called at 3:50 a.m. and left Broadmeadows at about 6:30 a.m.

I saw Clare, Ma, and Mrs Bransom at the station and also the wharf.

Parting from love at home’ was very hard; but Father honours.

The ship left and steered straight for the heads. Had my medical exam aboard.

Appointed corporal of hospital. There are seven officers. Berth to sleep in.
