Very small rations given to us now. Not more than one
quarter what we want to eat and that of the poorest quality. Splendid weather,
but too warm; occasional rains. The Flying Dutchman (Wirtz) offers to give any
two at a time twelve hours the start, and if caught to take the punishment he
has for runaways. The offer is made to intimidate those thinking to escape.
Half the men would take the consequences with two hours start.
