St Catherine's meeting in a.m.  

Bridge at noon.

Eileen Grant still very sick.

Bought 1 lb wong tong between us (Redwoods).

Pacifist meeting.

Just after 8 this evening, all sorts of whistles went, meaning an outside roll call.   Edward Reed (a youth) had escaped while under arrest at Jap HQ for selling white Military (Jap) sugar; the roll call was supposed to be to find him.   We were there till about 9.15 - quite dark, fishing lights out in bay.
