' Last week I told you how we crossed the Channel in a full gale, in order to get a young man back to England in time to rejoin his regiment before his leave expired. Well, it was a very rough trip and we were all pretty shaken up by the motion. So we weren't at all sorry to lie in harbour alongside the quay in Poole, while the gale blew itself out. There were quite a number of yachts sheltering there. Rag Doll was berthed alongside one called Cape Horn. She was an ancient and rather dirty converted fishing-boat, whose owner was a weather-beaten old man whom we soon got to know.' (Mary Green)
