for time without pearls, as [illegible] E and Abs - after meals to open water. The horse killed me yesterday and wounded another to day, but was unable to serve either because of open water off the cape. Exceptionally cold for May 2. - 9° & brighter at 11 o'clock. Another cold night in my cloth bag. Have made a checker board which the boys are enjoying very much to while away the hours. Abs says it is cold to-night because the Karaya quells have come! At this time of year when there is a cold O's field it is a sign that they have come or are very near. Last point to the southward is C. Isabella, distant 17 miles.
