Clear.
Clear, sea dark steel blue with 
low, white-capped waves but little
or no swell. Strong, steady S.W. [Southwest]
wind. A beautiful day, rather warm.
No rolling or pitching motion. No
sail nor smoke of steamer seen.
  No animal life save a bird
seen by a passenger which from his
description I judge was a Shearwater.
Thus far there has not been a
moment, since we left Boston, when
one would not have been secure on
the ocean near our ship or the
smallest boat or canoe. Spent
most of day in smoking room
reading & talking. Dancing on
deck all evening led by Capt. Jones [Captain Jones].
Second cabin passengers took part.
The Ivernia is the best & pleasantest
ship I have been on.

Ther. [Thermometer] Sun. [Sunday] Aug. 1, 1909 [August 1, 1909] 1, 1909 Wea. [Weather]
Partly cloudy.
Forenoon cloudy or partly so - with strong
S. [South] wind & white-capped sea. Afternoon
sunny with light S. [South] breeze & smooth sea
almost without swells.
  Spent A.M. in smoking room talking
with various people. Several walks on
deck. Two small schools Porpoises. I
saw one of these. On deck near bow
most of afternoon absorbed in
watching birds. Saw at least 600
large white bellied, brown-backed
white collared Petrels, which I took to
belong to genus Puffinus. Some in
flocks (10 or 12 to 62) on water,
others flying to south.  Most
numerous 4.30-5.30 about 1000 m. [miles]
from Ireland. Looked like birds seen
from "Etruria" in June 189 [June 1891]. Only
other birds seen to-day were 3
Mother Carey Chickens & 7 Parasitic
Jaegers. 3 of latter right over ship.
