Fine Weather with Land and Sea Breezes at SSE and East. Thermometer from 81 to 84 Degrees.
Employed Caulking the Larboard side, making places for the Plants on the Quarter Deck, and in the Hold, Cooper repairing Casks. Received 3½ Tons of Ballast per Launch.
We continue to have plentifull Supplies and have Salted 13 Hogheads of fine Pork. A few families are now getting to Matavai, and we have a great number of People collecting, Peace being established. Poeeno is also come in, and has intercourse with the Oparre People as usual, but I have forbade him to see me, untill the Property of Captain Weatherhead is returned. They say it is at Teturoah, and shall be brought in as soon as the Wind will permit them to send for it. This will be more than I expect, for to day Mr. Bond bought two Dollars for a few trifles he had about him, it is propable [probable] therefore that no one person has it in his possession.
