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.
