"Continued all day in fine style. The Cape Town girls are pulling hard
At 7 pm we braced up the yards a bit. At poker I lost nine boxes and Jock won them. We are all pretty well square now. The Australian has [been] losing but his losses have been used by us for smoking.
Wind increased during the 8-12 pm watch. 666.2 miles to go."
