At sea - North Atlantic.
Ther. [Thermometer] Tues. [Tuesday] June 27, 1911 Wea. [Weather] 
Fair
Run 414 miles
Partly sunny; mostly cloudy. Chilly
with fresh S.W. [Southwest] wind, the sea covered
with white-capped tumbling waves but no
heavy swell. Ship almost perfectly steady.
Last night at 10.30 I was called on deck
to see a huge iceberg looming dimly through
darkness, like a white cloud, about 2 m. [miles] off.
We passed another very fine one at 6 A.M.
to-day but Mr. Willson seems only passenger
who saw it. Later he saw a Whale spout.
  When I came on deck at 9 A.M. Fulmars
were in sight in several directions. I saw
them frequently through forenoon, perhaps 50
in all, mostly singly, never more than 2 or 3
together, all but one on wing skimming low
over water with quick nervous flapping.
At 9.30 A.M. a pair of Puffins passed
flying 10 ft. [feet] above water towards Newfoundland
200 miles distant at time. & nearest land.
Saw 3 Wilson's Petrels, 1 in forenoon 2 in afternoon.
Auction selling of pool numbers in 
smoking room this evening.

At sea - North Atlantic
Ther. [Thermometer] Wed. [Wednesday] June 28, 1911 Wea. [Weather] 
Fair
Run 418 miles
Cloudy with fresh S.W. [southwest] wind and thin
fog obscuring objects more than mile away.
Much warmer, overcoats no longer needed.
I saw only one bird a Wilson's Petrel,
apparently. Several of the passengers reported
an assemblage of 50 to 75 birds of the
same or similar kind hovering together over
some floating food close under the ship.
No other birds nor any Whales or Porpoises
were seen. We passed a slightly slower
steamer bound to the eastward like ourselves.
Thus far we have seen one or more steamers
every day. I passed mostly the whole of to-day
in the smoking room where I scraped acquaintance
with Lord Aberdour, a young man of kindly
& agreeable manners as with Capt. MacKensie
a fine resolute fellow of the Kitchener type who
has served 17 years in India & who proved
a most interesting fellow. In the evening there
was pool selling of numbers for the ship's run
in the [?]. Thus the time passes pleasantly
& even swiftly as we go on our way.
