H.M.S. MINSTREL                                                               At MALTA

April 21^st         Turn out best of health.  Work thro’ solid forenoon.  Send Compass away to be repaired.  Dine with Fitzpatrick at Osborne.  Go to opera “Tales of Hoffman”.  Jolly good show.  “Doll” exceedingly pretty with good voice.  Some of chorus not bad but strong glasses spoil most of them.
