- 3 - At Folkestone there was difficulty in obtaining coal stocks and I was detained overnight. The crew, by this time, were showing signs of strain. Some of them had been bombed out of S.S. "St. Denis at Rotterdam, and my own men had survived very unpleasant experiences there. Some of the weaker spirits were failing, and the Medical Offi certified three Agineers, the Wireless Operator, the Purser, & seaman, and several engine-room hands unfit for duty. Here I refer you to th enclosed copy of a report submitted to the P.S.T.O., Southampton, to which port I was compelled of necessity to return. Except for this one unpleasant incident, my gratitude goes to the men who assisted in the very difficult operations, particulary to the medical Staff and soldiers, who adapted themselves to the unfamiliar conditions remarkably well. The gunners performed good work in four aerial attacks, and have, moreover, excelled themselves recently by destroying an enemy 'plane at Cherbourg. I attach a separate list of members I would recommend for their general exemplary conduct throughout, and in conclusion, would express my thanks for the wonderful co-operation of the Royal Navy both on shore and aboard H.M. Destroyers. They did magnificent work. of Master.
