Done raining; find we have saved about 11.000 galls water — a six 
months supply with what we had on hand before. Busied ourselfes getting 
the water into the tanks etc. Built a privy for the kanakas. Waiting 
patiently for the guano to dry — it is now nothing but mud. With proper 
facilities we could have caught at least 50,000 galls water this storm. 
23rd - 
Got off the guano we had bagged and some we piled during the storm —- 
Capt. H. urges Capt. C. to refuse but the latter wants to get his ship 
loaded. Heavy surf. Guano being so wet we do not try to make a full 
days work, over scale 29 tons, 497 lbs. 
24th - 
Saturday 
Consider our work as partially waiting for guano to dry. Have not 
employed the sailors since the rain — Nevertheless working leisurely 
we got off 30 tons 1545 pounds. 
25th - 
Sunday 
A good drying day. With good weather the ship might now have been three 
days homeward-bound. But do not feel like repining : think we have 
done well as it is. 1524 tons 1698 pounds.
