Very Cloudy, Thunder and heavy Rain all Day. Wind in Squalls from the West NW & NNE, at times Calm. Thermometer from 78 to 80 Degrees.
The Rain to day a very uncommon circumstance, it swelled the River to a great degree. Only one turn of Water could be got on board. At day break we hauled the Seine and caught 550 pounds of Fish all fine Cavallies weighing from 7 to 14 pounds each. Every Man had as much as he could eat, and I was able to make some presents to our Indian Friends.
During the latter part of the Day I ordered fires between Decks to prevent damps and ill health.
No Natives about us, but we have always three days supplies before hand, and abundance for our use.
