Melmore Head, Emprie Dunstan and Margarita Chandris had been cancelled from the slow Convoy SC 84.
Margarita Chandris is listed as sailing in SC 85. Also, a note for the latter convoy states that Empire Union and Boston City, sailing in that convoy, originally came from HX 191.


Notes:
Some of the ships have ben given the same station number - hence my question marks.

The vessels departed in the following sequence:
The first to leave at 11:00 was Tactician, followed at 11:19 by Corrales, then with a few minutes between each ship, Torr Head, Cairnvalona, Sovac, Melmore Head, Taron, Elisabeth van Belgie, Doña Aurora, Manchester Port, Dorelian, Empire Nightingale, Aegeus, Empire Dunstan, James Lykes, Zamalek, Ocean Faith, Jean Jadot, Santa Elisa, Ocean Honour, Meigle, Forth Amherst, Lynghaug, Consuelo, Hjelmaren, Empire Flamingo, Empire Stanley, NewYork City.

Zamalek (requisitioned in March-1940) was on her 15th voyage as rescue vessel, having started this voyage at Clyde on Apr. 28 with Convoy ON 90 (to Halifax May 15), then returning with HX 191 on May 24 to Clyde June 6. ("Convoy Rescue Ships", Arnold Hague).
