first time + I am on duty here all 

day so I don't suppose I shall get

much sleep. 


We saw 2 destroyers passing 

yesterday morning going like mad

northwards. They are patrolling the coast

round here. 


Well, think of me tonight while

you are all in bed, keeping guard on 

the lonley shore. I don't mind so long as 

it is moonlight. 

Give my love to all 

Your loving Brother, 

Norrie
