Providence Logbook Jun 14, 1792

Remarks Thursday 14th June 1792

Light Westerly Winds and Calms with much Swell in the Bay. Thermometer from 77 to 80 Degrees. In my observatory on Shore it was 90 degrees.

Employed Breeming the Bends, mending Sails, Cutting Wood, Armourer at the Forge, Carpenters repairing Boats, and fitting the Ports. A few hands completing the Rigging.

Sufficient Supplies of Hogs, Plantains, Tarro, Cocoa Nutts and Vees, a few Yams and heads of New Breadfruit.

Very few Natives about us, they regard us with very great indifference. We see no strange People of any consequence, or does any thing pass interesting or worth notice. Tynah, Oreepyah, and their Brother Whydooah so completely stupify themselves with Avah every day, as have affected their faculties. They have however faithfully promised me to drink less of it in future.
