Thursday July 9 The Albation arrived and anchored off the east landing about 9.30. We expected Dr. Jones to come on board as he did not go out on the rover. Took some photos. In the afternoon we offered as I went home to fetch it, but the weather was unfavorable and we had no success. The barges are now so large that they merge together in many places. Dr. Jones came ashore in the afternoon. He said he sailed at 6 St. George on the Albation tomorrow. Two Whites came on the Albation from St. George Friday July 10. St. George for South Island about 10 a.m. Got arriving about 12 o'clock. The sky was cloudy but with little fit. Arrived at St. George about 5:30 p.m. A boat came out to pick us up. Mr. Carter and Mrs. Hanna on board. We were informed by the whaler that we were assigned quartering in the Armory. Left town and the boat sailed at the nearest wharf. Saturday July 11. We went all in the steam launch steering to land at Almy's until evening near Lake Philomene. When we passed it over we docked there, that we went on to the high cliffs on Laurel and climbed back up a cliff again and did a lull in the weather.
