During the afternoon I saw many the penguins and their water properties show his borelgin: The captain's slop he sees Van Glien, but they are never in fogs only in pairs or solitary. Water birds were singularly scarce, as always seen were few auhigs or cormorants. (17) The night was quite pleasant but a few mosquitoes came about the electric fan before time cool. We left an anchorage at daybreak, but the fog came up soon after it blurred the landscape so we had to anchor again until breakfast, namely 9 am.
