Awakened about midn’t by heavy detonations. A plane flying E to W dropped its load very near (Taitam Bay) despite heavy cloud & rain.
In Pengelly’s store & shifting rubble.
News in Chinese paper from Axis sources tells us that Churchill in a speech warned against over-optimism adding that next Summer might see the end of the war in Europe & that he could not tell when the war in the East would finish.
Cold N wind & overcast but cleared up somewhat pm.
