Thursday, September 9, 1875

Sept. 9th. I slept on deck; it is cooler and less pitching by getting amidship, as our cabin is forward of the foremast. At 5:30 A.M. there was a heavy squall with rain from the Port bow. The sails, close hauled, were taken aback, with much bustle taking the sail in, the heavy wind and rain. At 10:00 A.M. it is cloudy and pleasant, the evening is the same, as also is the 10th.
