Description:
The east-bound convoy from the Clyde had now reached Malta: a number of ships lost, two crippled, and the main body of the convoy yet to be taken through to Alexandria and then the passage of the Suez Canal for Trincomalee. "A hell of a long way", Commodore John Kemp thought, and there had been so much death and destruction already... . .

Yet for this ill-fated convoy the worst was yet to come. To begin with there were the WRNS - not the easiest of cargoes but they were easier to deal with than the overbearing Brigadier Pumphrey-Hatton. Attack from the air and from beneath the waves was Kemp's continual fear but at least these were threats he knew how to handle. Now a far greater fear gripped the convoy - the dreaded cholera raging in Port Said. Could it have found its way to the ships' companies, already at the end of their tether?
