Nana brought all the boys to
the Queens Pantomime. I do not think
it is as good as usual this year
& of course the songs are the same
as at the Gaiety.
Violet & Beatrice went with Girlie
Mooney to the Gaiety Pantomime.
Great rumours that there was a
German submarine taken in the
Bay & was lying outside Kingstown
Harbour. Certainly one could
see a curious looking vessel in the
bay with small vessels on each side.
