Sent off baggage 26/- Insurance £2/15. saw Florence Smithson at Kings.
D with Bell in City.
P. Perth Road.
Sent extra £2/4- to P&O insurance.
Had tooth stopped-black. dentist.
Heard Medina sunk.
Met Hollingsworth in Dundee. At dentist again.
P McIntosh.
P Perth Road quills(?)
Went to Carnoustie afternoon.
Brown died of wounds.
The Medina was built in Scotland 1911 as an ocean going liner. However it was commissioned into The Royal Navy as the Royal Yacht to take King George V and Queen Mary to India in 1911. Following a refit in 1912 after this voyage she was delivered to P&O. She was torpedoed off the Devon Coast on 28 April 1917. Given Louis was at this time clearly planning his return voyage to Ceylon with P&O he was understandably interested in this news.
Louis also records the death of Brown- another of the asst. managers who worked at Sapumalkande in 1914.
