Sept. 26.     
   A superb day, cloudless, with smooth sea, very warm.
  
  The time passed much as usual although I was on deck more
than during any previous day. I saw absolutely no birds except
"Mother Cary's" (O. oceanica) which were much less numerous than
yesterday. Two or three sails were sighted, all apparently
coasting vessels.

  In the evening we had Mrs. Jarley's wax-works in the saloon
Elliott officiated as Mrs. Jarley and Wyman and I representing
the Siamese Twins. It was frightfully hot especially for me as
I was dressed in oil skins and sou-wester.
