Day Twenty Nine
Lat. 42° 47' S Long. 142° 17 W Dist. 120 miles
"Nothing happened until this afternoon and then we squared the yards at 9 am.
The port watch cleared grain out of the pump well this afternoon and this evening Joe and I played crib. Davis conversed with the steward and Jock read while Bosun did nothing.
We braced the yards up a bit and set the mainsail as there is a light breeze this evening. Bosun is carving his picture frame and has succeeded in cutting his finger once up to the present. I have been cutting a stencil for the mate so that he can paint the ship's name on the new lifeboat."
