Monday July 14.
Sydney N.S. to Battle Harbor.
Cloudy but pleasantly cool.
Jog in short time during the night. Brooke, the
moving picture man who has been quite ill since
we left Boston, is better. He gave me some instruct-
ions in handling the moving picture machine.
Allen has a slightly sprained back which he
got while handling biscuit in Sydney Saturday after-
oon. He came to lunch and is better.
Coasting Newfoundland all afternoon
Sydney July 15
Sydney N.S. to Battle Harbour
Strong breeze from NE and N. Bar falling.
Taking water. Opened holes in side of cases on deck
in order to allow water to seep, Scupperings blocked.
All of the party were searich except my-
self and Neil Fogg. At breakfast the Captain had
an altercation with the 1st Mate regarding our
distance from Cape Rich, it is far as I could
judge the result of the argument was a draw but
later each one confided in me th other was wrong.
Saw our first ice-berg about 2.30 p.m.
On entrance to Strait of Belle Isle. Considerable
number of other bergs showed up later. We were saluted
by Cape D'Amour Light when we passed about 7.30 P.M.
Quite Cold but no damp on deck until
8.30 P.M.
