My Darling:
Water is choppy, there is an overcast but no rain.
Typhoons can be Seen forming aft our beam, navigator is avoiding typhoons. We must not be in a hurry to get anywhere, avoiding a storm in a Battle Wagon.
Listened to Tokyo Rose’s scuttlebutt, reception poor due to rain. I wonder where Tokyo Rose gets her records she has the latest tunes by Glen Miller, Harry James etc.

Our scuttlebut now is we are going to Samar, Phillipines. I wonder???
The world “scuttlebutt” has been used a few times, and the word has an interesting source. The scuttlebutt on a wooden sailing ship was the large cask where water was stored. Men would often congregate around the ancient water cooler and trade gossip. Therefore, “scuttlebutt” = “water cooler chat”.
Action Ahead!
