Grayburn and Streatfield are moved again.

This time they're taken by car to Stanley Prison where they're held in much improved conditions. Each has a cell to himself and exercise periods and baths are provided.

Their arrival is recorded in the diary of George Wright-Nooth:

Grayburn brought to Stanley chained to Streatfield....

It seems from Streatfield's account that they were both roped up, but not to each other.
