Ines, Oct. 5'. It is early to bed and early to rise with me. Had my tea and wash on deck and then my "tin-can-bath". Dressed and had breakfast on time and then Mr. McGraw P.B., and another chap whose name I do not know, and myself went ashore in the launch. I spent all the time ashore in collecting shells; also paid a fereta for a lot; got about 23' new species for my collection. Been charmed with Demaguste and would like to spend a vacation there, came aboard at 10 but we did not sail until 12. There are very heavy black clouds ahead of us. The sun along Oriental Mergus is very attractive. I took a siesta after tiffin and then read some botany from Merrill's book and fixed up one book of poor old Dr. Prothiernia's field labels. Had my tea in the P.M., and at dinner time we struck the storm that loomed up ahead of us. The rain and wind has made an awful roar and the sea is getting high. Not much sleep on deck a head of me.
