June 21, 1942. Sunday. 
Rain squalls all last night and this morning. Quite rough last night, 
lot of sliding around in bunk. Everybody was yawning and sleepy all morning 
as result. Some heavy rain here at 10.30, it's pouring again. One doesn't 
have time to get up and down from room dry between showers. 
Roast chicken, mashed potatoes, bread, butter, gravy, turnips, cold cocoa. 
Little Ecuadorian "pooch" picked up at Salinas. Eats everything, including 
soap, licks and nibbles at nails in deck grating. Very fond of cook, who 
reciprocates affection. 
Malpelo. Endeavour 300 tons at Malpelo just about time war started, when 
call went out beat it for home. 
Liberty was all set to head south at time; had to unload everything, even 
medicine chest; later was asked why didn't leave stuff on. Originally was told 
to move stuff off or it would be thrown off. Now could use paint, medicine, 
etc. Tuna boats always carried complete medical kits, including instruments 
of various kinds and clips for bad cuts. 
Running with no lights, none are lit, so when it gets dark, we just turn in. 
No writing or reading. Sort of risky without lights, but it's war time. 
Left Sat. at I.50, hot and sunny. Sunday overcast, rainy. Started late 
Saturday evening and continued all night. Sunday first half cloudy, second half 
sunny; but cloudy at sunset, no color except little red at horizon behind clouds. 
Saturday night didn't see sun.
