Date(s) of events described:
Fri, 2 Oct 1942
Typhoon around, great howling gusts all night and day, enormous waves. 2 small ships sheltering in cove.
Mabel had 6 teeth out. Went up to see her, she was just coming round and asked 'Didn't he come with you?' I said 'Who?' She said 'Sid.' (Her boyfriend in Shamshuipo Camp). It made me want to cry. Then she asked 'Where's Mummy?' and later 'Where's Olive?' They wanted to put her back to sleep but she said she'd wait till Mum had been. Seemed quite chirpy later.
Choir practice this evening, Olive and I.
Rumour that regular troops ARE away ((i.e. they had left Hong Kong.))
