10th January 1916
Went up 6.35 to the Matterhorn and stayed up to 5.30. Told by Smith in the middle of the day that I would be relieved tonight. Nothing happened all day. Dempster in to dinner, during which Smellie in an argument as to how to blow up a bridge told us that he knew more about blowing up bridges than any R.E. The egotism of the man is perfectly surprising. He is detailed for a course of Field Engineering during which I trust Major Charles will knock some of the bounce out of him.

Handed over Matterhorn to Rutherford.
