At Sea - North Atlantic.
Ther. [Thermometer] FRI. [Friday] AUG. 4, 1911 [August 4, 1911] Wea. [Weather]
Lat 40.05 [Latitude 40.05]; lon. 26.29 [Longitude 26.29] Run 383 m. Dull
Cloudy & cool with occasional showers
& a few brief intervals of sunshine.
Moderate West wind & smooth sea.
Both sky & sea cold & gray looking
as is so generally the case in British
waters to which, essentially, this tract
of ocean may be said to belong. It
seems comparatively lifeless. About 10 A.M. 
Glover Allen saw about a dozen Greater
Shearwaters flying about & later he
saw a single Mother Cary [Mother Carey's Chicken]. I saw
what he told me was a Sun Fish
basking at surface with shark-like
fins exposed at times. As usual
I spent most of day & evening in
smoke room. In forenoon talked
with Mr. Clark of Milton, a friend of
Kidder's who has been fishing in England.
  In afternoon wrote in journal.
North Atlantic
Ther. [Thermometer] SAT. AUG. 5, 1911 [Saturday, August 5, 1911] Wea. [Weather]
Lat. 46.51 [Latitude 46.51]; lon. 35.03 [Longitude 35.03]. Run 369 Fair
Chiefly sunny with fresh westerly
winds and rough hard sea. Very warm.
  We were in what looked like the Gulf
Stream this morning & all day. The sea
was clear, rich blue with which the
snowy white of the whitecaps contrasted
pleasingly. The air was uncomfortably 
warm - despite the strong wind - & very
humid. The Allens who were on
deck & on the watch nearly all day
saw a school of Porpoises but no
birds of any kind. I saw no animal
life whatsoever but most of my time
was spent as usual in the smoke
room. I tried to do some writing
there but found no opportunity because
of the interruptions. I talked chiefly 
with Mr. Clark & Mr. Peale both
very bright & interesting men. Had
long talk with the Allens in evening.
