ed stormy out there in the after-(23 noon. Where is our ship? Try to do something on the narrative of the "Cluett" voyage every day, but it is hard work to accomplish anything of that kind while looking so anxiously ly for our steamer's arrival. We had Rasmussen, Frenchen & Koch over in the evening for a pancake- & music-feast. All had a good time. Heavy gale from S or S.E. began to blow about 8 p.m.. This combine with the high tide (new moon tomorrow) start ed the ice out of the bay, making a zone of water 100-150 yds wide along head of bay. Wind blew max & min thermometers down from the rail and broke them. Sharp flurry of hail about 10:30 p.m. Very heavy rain at 11:45, like a thunder shower at home. E & I brought our sleeping gear into the house for the night.
