June 1, Sunday
  A. M. Cloudless, wind N. W. strong
Sea dark blue, white-capped.
  On deck most of morning. Two small Petrels,
apparently Oceanites oceanica, seen about 9.30;
At 10.20 four Puffini, smaller as it
seemed to me, than P. major, but of the same
form & color, passed within 200 yds. skimming
close to the water, alternately flapping & scaling,
following the undulations of the water & spray
very rapidly.
  P.M. clouds gathering wind falling and
shifting to N. E. Air cooler. No birds
except Oceanites oceanica these
seen at frequent intervals up
to sunset.
  Passed a large bark steering S. at
about 7 P.M. and a steamer at
9.30. Signalled the latter with
Roman candle.
  Steamer absolutely steady all day, every
one well, the decks crowded with people - in
steamer chairs and walking about.
  No fish, whales or Gulls.
