Ther. [Thermometer] Thurs. [Thursday] July 29, 1909 Wea. [Weather]
Sunny.
Sunny but hazy. Warm with light
N.W. [Northwest] wind. Evening very warm.
  Large Porpoise seen near ship by
passenger. I saw one Shearwater
P. major [?] and 3 small Petrels,
(O. oceania, no doubt). We 
are now in the Gulf Stream. The
water is decidedly blue & I
have seen many small pieces
of the brownish orange gulf weed.
Strange to say no vessel of any
kind has been seen by day of the
passengers yesterday or to-day.
I spent most of day in 
smoking room. Already I know
most of the male passengers.
Nearly all are intelligent refined
& agreeable. Several are English.
I walk about a mile daily
on deck.

brilliantly clear with horizon line
perfectly defined. Saw 3 small

School of about 7 Black Fish
spouting a mile or so to N. [north] of ship
at 8.30 A.m. & a small school
of porpoises puffing & rolling at
similar distance in P.M. Then I
saw but not the school of large
fish called "Sharks" reported by some
of the passengers. Drury & Adams
agree the large mottled gray & white
& about 10 ft. [feet] long is probably groupers. A bark
with all sails set off our starboard
bow at 4 P.M.is the only vessel
seen by me ever since [delete][?][/delete] we left Boston.
Spent most of day on deck.
