FRIDAY, Jan. 19/Jan. 29 At anchorage. A shed was begun on shore to receive the goods from the ship. Rained at noon but cleared toward night.

TUESDAY, Jan. 30/Feb. 9 At anchorage. Cold, frosty weather, so no working-party went on shore from ship. The Master and others of the ship's company saw two savages that had been on the island near the ship [Clarke's Island].
