In England, Verne writes in his diary . . . .

No mail today. Some time in trainers. Did a little practice shooting with my 45 automatic.¹ Read a book called End of the Track.¹ A very rough book and a very good one. Chitzler has a quiz book, so we are busy showing how smart we are. So far, I’ve missed. On the battle order for tomorrow, hope it isn’t a rough one. God will bring us safely back.
