Providence Logbook May 17, 1792

Remarks Thursday 17th May 1792

Untill 4 O'Clock this Afternoon it was generally Calm, the remaining part of the day light Winds at EbN & ESE and Cloudy Weather throughout. Thermometer from 79 to 82 Degrees.

Employed repairing the Launch, and about the Rigging.

Very few Natives about our Post, or Ship, and our supplies to day confined to Breadfruit, Vees, and Plantains. The Venereal list is now increased to 10. Two of them have been under care ever since we left Tenariffe.

Our Plants benefit by the Cloudy Weather and are in general in a thriving State.
