Fair Weather with Land and Sea Breezes SSE and East. Thermometer from 81 to 83½ Degrees. At Night we had a light Shower of Rain. Sufficient Supplies.
Carpenters Employed making Extra places for the Plants. Hauled the Launch ashore to repair and to raise a strake higher. Hands going on with such parts of the Rigging as it is not necessary to have exposed to the Weather. We continue on the best footing with the Natives, and our Plants promise to do well.
An account was brought to me to day from Tabyroo, that the Money was come from Teturoah, and he only wanted some person to come for it, lest by sending it with any of his own people some accident might happen and prevent my getting it after all his trouble. In consequence I directed Mr. Norris with the Matilda's People to go for the Money to morrow.
