Sat, 13 Dec 1941
The following day ((i.e. the 13th)) we were ordered by the Marine Department to scuttle our vessel alongside the dockyard wall, a task I had to do and which broke my heart to see such a fine vessel which had been home to me for 6 months lost in this ignominious way.
We were offered accommodation in the European Staff Quarters of the Dockyard Company on Stanley Terrace.
