(Judd-Baker Island- i860 - - ) 
Passed off as usual. Gentle and steady breeze from the E by N. Fine 
beach and very little surf. 
Got down about 70 tons guano. Some men fishing. Smith finishing up 
boats, on chicken house, on muskets. Steady E. trade. 
Very smooth in the morning, and on the whole a first rate shipping day. 
Capt. H. sick, also Mr. Colcord who still keeps about, as I tell h-im 
without necessity but he dont like to give up. 
Smooth — Good shipping day — I have seen few better. Got down about 
75 tons guano. Part of the men fishing. I wish very much that we had a slip 
ship. With such weather as this could soon laod her. Everything goes 
along as smoothly I have a very small record to make* 
Bad surf. Very little wind. Got down about 60 tons guano. Some men 
fishing, others white-washing, and clearing out native house. 
Surf on the increase. The beach nearly all worn away; had to remove 
most of the rail-way below the weight house into which the spray 
sometimes dashed. Got down about 80 tons guano. As usual part of the 
men fishing and doing odd jobs. Notwithstanding it is so rough on the 
West beach, from the Soutjpc it is good shipping. With our present gang 
could get off today 40 tons guano. 
Almost a gale by which tons of guano sire blown away. Surf somewhat abates 
on the west landing. Whitewashing mending getting down guano etc. 
Could ship very comfortably from the South beach, provided there was a 
mooring so that the ship did not lay so far off. It would be hard 
pulling so slong a distance against such a wind. Otherwise there is 
nothing in the way of shipping. Provisions getting low. Potatoes and 
other vegetables sill gone. Keeping two bbls beef for the kanakas in 
case a ship should come and we should have no time for fishing. Nearly 
all the bread that was sent down the last trip has better have been 
thrown under the dock. The boys will not eat it. We shall have to 
throw it away. 
Much smoother beach : a fair shipping day. Holiday for the men. 
Cloudy and threatening of rain. Begin to be lonesome and wish for 
a ship to load.
