We shall probably not unload to-night, and I am to be called at 2 A.M. The infectious ward is full with British enterics, dips., and measles, and Indian mumpies.

A butcher was killed and a boy injured, and as the British Clearing Hospital was in the church and the French Hospital next door they were all cleared out into our train; many very bad cases, fractured spine, a nearly dying lung case, a boy with wound in lung and liver, three pneumonias, some bad enterics (though the worst have not been moved).

One of the enterics, a Skye man, thinks I'm his mother; told me to-night there was a German spy in his carriage, and that he had "50 dead Jocks to bury -- and it wasn't the buryin 'he didn't like but the feeling of it."

P.M. It is a mercy we got our bad cases off at Boulogne -- pneumonias, enterics, two s. f.'s, and some badly wounded, including the officer dressed in bandages all over.

Only filled up my half of the train, both wounded and sick, including some very bad enterics.
