Fabric is ripping off his Port wins, and when he is 100 feet off our deck, smoke starts issuing from his Port engine. He shoors off to Port and crushes on
Gravelines Point. Wounds of B.E.F. are dressed - brandy, run and hard tack issued. These men, some of whom have not enten for three days and have been fighting all the way, are unbreakable in spirit.

Wyatt R.N.V.R. No. b 9/1806 for his fine work at the Lewis gun.
