Editorial note: Night of 1–2 September, placed by the return and morning observations. The excerpt ends during the 0930 entry.

Six PT boats joined the escort patrol. Oribi searched for underwater craft and investigated a contact on bearings 200° to 235° true, seven miles from Cap de la Hague, without intercepting it. Early on 2 September the PT boats returned because of adverse weather. At 0800 a white flag was observed on Cézembre. The supplied page ends during the entry for an LCVP at 0930. [H page 26]
