Fred Ramsbottom: July 26, 1941

From the diary of Fred Ramsbottom:

Shore leave 4.30 to 10.30, entertained by some army chaps, 10 minutes adrift in returning aboard which was a serious crime. Reg. P.O. about to charge us when Master at Arms came on board, enquired what was the matter and kindly let us go.

Message from C. in C. Gibraltar (Admiral Somerville) who classed our little adventure as nothing short of a miracle that we arrived back. Bulkheads only just held out.
