Ther. [Thermometer] TUES. [Tuesday] AUG. 8, 1911 [August 8, 1911] Wea. [Weather] 
Lat. [Latitude] 42.30; lon. [longitude] 60.30 Run 414 m. Fine
Brilliantly clear with light S.E. [Southeast] wind
Sea but slightly wind ruffled, almost without
ground swell, rich painty blue in color &
plentifully strewn with yellow-brown
gulf weed. Air deliciously soft & warm.
Flying Fish seen at frequent intervals &
Portuguese Man O' war occasionally. Altogether
the conditions were very like those of the
Carribean Sea [Caribbean Sea] minus its trade winds.
Allen & I were in the prow during a
long part of the day. I saw there
about 50 Flying Fish, 2 Por. Man o' war [Portuguese Man o' war],
at least 100 Wilson's Petrels, 2 Stormy 
Petrels (very satisfactorily identified)
1 Greater Shearwater and a bird on 
wing, flying low, which I took to be an
Arctic Puffin. Also saw a school of
about 15 Porpoises half a mile away
In mid-afternoon saw 2 Whales
about 30 ft. [feet] long. At 7 P.M. saw dozens
of Wilson's Petrels, about 12 P. auduboni [Puffinus auduboni]
& 5 Bulwer's (?) Petrels long-winged
wholly sooty, about twice as large as Leach's
[margin]By 7 P.M. we were in rich colored water & [?] [?][/margin]

End of voyage - Night in Boston Harbor.
Ther. [Thermometer] WED. [Wednesday] AUG. 9, 1911 [August 9, 1911] Wea. [Weather]
Lat. [Latitude] 42.26 lon. [longitude] 69.16 Run 388 m. Fair
Partly sunny, largely cloudy, very hazy &
more or less foggy. Rather warm. Light
southerly breeze. Smooth sea.
During most of day we were running through 
misty & at times densely foggy stretches of
placid ocean with our fog whistle blowing
intermittently from 5 to 11 A.M. Just
before breakfast I visited the bow & saw
there 9 or 10 Wilson's Petrels in the
course of as many minutes. None were
seen after this although looked for at
intervals. We took in our pilot about 3 P.M.
& soon afterwards anchored for 2 hours
within a few miles of Hull & Nantucket;
at 6 we started again & came in through
the new ship channel finally anchoring
for the night off Quarantine Station.
Saw at least 25 Terns inside the
Brewsters [Brewster Islands] flying in squads over channel.
Saw also 2 Herring Gulls. 1400 Italians
from [?] are held at Quarantine.
