Evidence:
'We are now on board ship and expect to have four or five days of it. It does seem a pity to have got so near home and be unable to get nearer. Still, I have heard the pipes playing last night, some of their tunes "Highland Laddie," the "Barren Rocks," etc., being most appropriate ... Have just read The Right Stuff by Ian Hay. Excellent! I shall write Bisset to send it to you as an advance Birthday present!'
