Saturday June 27 English Bay.
Went to bed last night at 7 P.M.
and slept fairly well until midnight
After that short slumbers and considerable
orales. Took quinine about every 3 hours
and this morning I am quite sick
and dizzy. Dressed and went to the
breakfast table but could eat only one
egg, a small piece of bread and a cup
of coffee. The latter soon made my
head ache all the more but in half
hour it ceased.
After o'clock I feel a little better
and am off writing these notes.
The day is fine and I hope Poiret
will be able to sail to this place.
Poiret arrived with the boat at 4 P.M.
Had vermicelli soup, a glass of milk
and a piece of bread for lunch.
