several snow squalls came during/62 rest of day. Wind S.E. or E.S.E. and heavy (5 to 7 or 8) all day. Temp. min. 24°; 9a. 32°; 12m. 32°; 4p. 32°; 8p. 31°. Extremely disagreeable, with lots of driving snow in the air at times. We hope that the gale, combined with the spring tides to- day, may have done some damage to our bay ice. But we want warmer weather! On board all day. Got in some work on the "Clivett" article. Captain Pickels raffled off his watch (Waltham, 17 jewel, gold-filled case) a- among the crew on 64 tickets ranging from 1¢ to 64¢ total $20.80. H.C.P. himself drew out the numbers and Taylor won the ticker. There was some grumbling of course among the unsuccessful ones, because the captain took so long to find the last number in the can, but I could not see anything crooked in the case. Every number was drawn. I went down to the forepeak to see the drawing, although I had no interest whatever in the result. Little ants for bth and dinner. Dried peaches for dessert at dinner. Wind less violent at 8 o'cl. than before. 16 June. Friday. Clear & cloudless all day, but overcast in evening (8p.) Heavy easterly wind 3-4 a., dying down by 6a.
