Rainy all day. St. Jones went
about the ablation, and the
left.
Monday July 27
Clear in very early morning
but cloudy. Somewhat foggy at
breakfast time. Meanwhile both my
all other trips which he has been
on to a dwelling stay for sometime
made up one which was in poor
shape.
About 11 o'clock. The Tahamans took
us in a boat. As we, as the Captain
thought it suitable to take lee by
Otter Island. We had Dinner on
board with the crew and
on arriving started at once for the
landing place. We landed in
a little cove on the surf. We
practically went around the side
with some pictures. There were
many petrifiedes (both kinds), but
tell me, some, some
Fulmar, both puffins many
parrot arnolds and a few
barn owls. A few very
fishes on the
upper part of the island. Down
an old broken skull near the
little pond. About a dozen
seals were on the rocks near
the landing place.
On an isolated rock near the high-
part of the island. Estimated
12000 buds on this rock.
