July 13th (l 86 l) the Josephine arrived and laid over two nights 
at the buoy. — landed 1100 galls water and provisions, sent up 
Makalele, Pu, and Paluki - and brought on shore Kialaa and Kauela. 
Today (March 10th, 1862) I resume my journal on account of the 
arrival of the Scoltano (?) Scotland (?) Capt Friend for guano on 
account of the U.S. Guano Co. I shall enter my protest when they 
commence work. Sighted the vessel about 2 P.M., went off with 
Chisholm and boarded, when I ascertained they had small-pox on board - 
had lost one man coming down - got ashore as soon as possible and

Chisholms gang commence landing stuff - got provisions etc on shore, 
their vessel only made fast to the buoy by lines. 
Still getting stuff on shore, such as cars, railway katerial, provisions 
etc.

ship during the day and in doing so get a line caught around our old 
mooring. 
They finish laying the mooring — get the buoy shackled on about dark. 
Ship gets underweigh to come back to their old mooring which is done 
after several tasks. 
Scotlands crew on shore cruising over the island

first day. On the 10th when I boarded the ship after I had been on 
board some time the Capt told me they had lost one man coming down 
of small pox. He had no sick flag flying qt the time and I did not 
fail to remind him of the remissness in allowing a boat to come 
alongside without notice. They had buried the man two days before 
and as they said smoked the ship out thoroughly. I got on shore 
as soon as possible and I told Mr. Chisholm that if the ship had 
come to me I should hold no communication with her until she had 
laid long enough to prove her good health. Matters went on however 
as heretofore recorded until today when the (?) came off more sick* 
They build a tent at the other end of the island and cut off all
