Aug 10, 1918 (Iceland, Scotland) War Diary: land in sight
Woke up this a.m. within sight of the coast of Iceland. We are in the most dangerous part of the sea now and the convoy is busy roaming and scouting around us. Land sure looked good this a.m. and I hope we don’t lose sight of it again. Passed through a channel between Scotland & Ireland and on the Scottish side a great cliff rose out of the water and the reflections from the sun on the rocks was beautiful. For the last four nights there has been an order for one to undress and to keep lifesavers on at all times. I have spent most of the time on deck.
