14 July. Friday. Cloudy, but very pleasant. Fog on bay in morning, late heavy clouds in p.m. Temp. min 31°; 9a. 38°; 12m. 39°; 4p. 42°; 8p. 39° Slept better last night than for months on board the ship.

Exblaw told me yesterday that Mene had no occasion for complaint regarding the trip over to Parker Snow Bay. Mene had had a good break- fast here at the house the morning of the day that he started.
