and afterwards went to Mr. Baudrains
house who took care of me for the
night. First had a little Scotch whisky
and latter bread butter and Tea. Retired

to wake again until a little before day
break about 2 o'clock.

give me boiled water for breakfast
with tea and hopes soon to be able
to go to the west shore of Ellis Bay.
