September 1943: Off the north west coast of Madagascar prowling the Mozambique Channel south of the Comoros Islands.

Weather is absolutely filthy.

No radar or sound contacts.

Only one hit so far - a 'Ceramic' ocean liner. Moving fast too. No escorts heard or seen. Strange that the Allies should be so careless. They have stopped making such mistakes for a while now. Definetly wasn't a neutral vessel.

Plan to ride out the storm and maybe head toward Zanzibar or Mobassa.

Fuel situation is fine but the crew are suffering with the bad weather. The enforced lack of action is making us all stale. Even in this weather one suspects that the Allies have aircraft up looking for us. We must not relax but the beat of the engines is hypnotic when combined with the endless horizons when the weather is good.

Test fired the AA guns when the weather was good. Tracking and loading is fine.

So much ocean and so few boats. The Allies must be sailing convoys across the southern oceans with ease.
