July 4, Steward's Camp, Illinois Co.
Weather at Behring Lab pleasant
About two o'clock, about one hour after
we left, we saw the light from the
boat on the water. The boat was
about a mile away and seemed to be
coming towards us. It was in sight of
our camp. We could not see it clearly
because of the trees.
July 2, Steward's Camp, Illinois Co.
15:00 Observing in Behring Lab from
greenhouse and garden. The weather
was clear and warm with light wind
from the south. The sky was blue
with a few clouds. We saw a bird
flying over the water. It seemed to
be a duck or goose. We watched it
until it flew away.
