Fresh Breezes at East and some Calms, in the Night Winds from the Land at SE and SSE. Thermometer from 75 to 80½ Degrees.
Employed about the large Cutter, Fitting the Ports, mending Sails and Hauling the Seine.
Sufficient Supplies of Hogs, Plantains, Tarro and Vees, but Breadfruit only a few Heads. Caught very few Fish.
Found a few of our Plants attacked by a kind of Weavel which entered the Rinds, and made their doing well very doubtfull. I therefore directed them to be shifted, lest the other Plants might be injured in our Voyage home. We have but very few People about us, and no person but Tynah and his Wives of any consequence who dine with me every day. Otoo with his Grand Father Otow, are still absent. Whydooah is not a constant Visitor, as the most of his time is devoted to drinking Avah, and in a state of Stupefaction. The Erree Women are now become fond of this pernicious root, and are generally drunk once a Day.
