content: Additional handwritten text on verso reads, "ont l'air de bien se montrer. Gare bientot aux Anglais! Le 'Wadai' était a coté de nous a Bathurst. Il va a Las Palmas. Il correspond actuellement avec un autre boche qui s'appelle le 'Vugath' de la meme compagnie mais allant en sens inverse. Malgré cela le commerce des M.P. marche bien car nous avons débarqué a Bathurst dans la matinée pres de 300 tonnes de ciment de Marseille et 100 tonnes de champagne! Il ne nous reste plus que quelques marchandises pour Kaslacker I.... Puis nous commencerons le chargement. Je vous embrasse ainsi que papa. Marcel."

The 'Vugath', from the same company, instead goes the opposite way. Business is good. we unloaded 300t. of concrete from Marseille as well as 100t. of Champagne! We still have some marchandise for Karsacker I.... There we will start to reload the ship. Best wishes to dad as well. Marcel."
