Day Thirty Seven

Lat. 48° 18' S  Long. 121 58' W Dist. 168 miles

"The port watch set the fore upper topga'n'sail at 7 am this morning.

I washed clothes this morning in delicious hot water. Work has ceased for a bit, I think, as the weather is so cold.

The port watch squared the yards in at 3.45 this afternoon.

We had a sing-song and a talk this evening. The Australian brought a big cigar aft and we passed it round. Bosun when he had it went green at once. Joe would not have any. Davis had one draw. Jock looked bad but held out. The Australian, Jock and I finished it."
