Wednesday November 4 1914
We are now on the deep Indian Ocean. It
is very much calmer today. We exercised
the horses and went on 1.30 pm parade in marching order today. It is getting much hotter as we near the
Equator. Most of us will camp on deck
tonight. I went to a class given for the
NCOs by Cpt Leslie.

Usual routine duties during the day. Marching order
inspection carried out. Much improvement. Station keeping better during day.
Spent most of day on Bridge learning International Code Signalling and at night
sent a long message to Major Bessell Browne on the "Medic". The
"Katuna" reported she had lost 2 horses. So far ours are doing
exceedingly well. The Horse decks are beautifully clean and well kept. Weather
warming up.
