Providence Logbook Jun 9, 1792

Remarks Saturday 9th June 1792 Matavai Bay

Light Breezes and Fair Weather with Calms in the first part of the Morning. Land Winds at Night. Wind East and Southeasterly. Thermometer from 74 to 80 Degrees.

Employed as Yesterday in the Morning, but the remainder of the Day the People had to themselves to mend & Wash their Clothes. Hauled the Seine without any success.

Sufficient Supplies as Yesterday, but no increase of the Natives about us, scarce ever more than a Dozen on board at a time. The Young Breadfruit are in abundance upon the Trees, and I get a Head or two brought to me almost every Day.
