Peter Birley calls in on Jeck to see what he is up to. Jeck is constructing a depth charge to be used on Pitbirley Loch, to counter the submarine menace. Peter offers to help with Jeck’s calculations on how much dynamite he needs, but Jeck isn’t very impressed with Peter’s maths when it comes to invoicing him for seeds, so declines the offer.
Note: Barrowsgate reveals that he had recently of moved again. In June 1940, he moved to a larger croft, Hill O’ Den at Pitcaple, Inverurie.
