H.M.S. —‪—‬

The world was a streak of green and white bubbles, and there was a great roaring noise which disturbed his thoughts". Boots—boots—I must get them off". He remembered the only occasion on which he had experienced an anæsthetic, the mental struggle to retain his ego, and the loss of will-power he had known at every breath. He was going down now, the roaring was less terrible and he felt very tired.
