Wednesday Aug 12-1914
It rained and blew all day long. Persons went out to see if our things were being used at the island.
The first impressions are pretty lonely with the crowd gone x
Thursday Aug 13-1914
Alkaholiquist anchored us (person + me) with the news that the motor boat was coming.
The party arriving included St. + Janet but no male. Person missed a ship he not yet come but may arrive before the dinner is done.
St. + Sand had a good many meals on that return - made into a big meal 3 figured it had gotten moon-blind + had not gotten down to Milville Bay as he had planned x.
Friday Aug 14-1914
a hell of a day - Snow + wind + the Carlos was jammed with ice that we had to get the motor boat out. The ice was by heavy rings from Kennedy channel probably.
St. + I walked my 5th thermometer - Sween Point. We ran one mile. It has been down 10+20 F. since July 20th. It was 33° when we read.
