Evening
It has been very quiet during the day, but a few shells came over to “W” Beach; most of them did not explode.
August 17th
It is a wonderfully clear day and we can see the Asiatic side and the plains of Troy in vivid detail. Some 6-inch shells come over from Asia to “W” Beach this morning, and after lunch we receive a few more, one, very close to our bivouac, falling into the sea and throwing up a large waterspout.
