At last the wind dropped after the worst wind siege I have ever exper¬ 
ienced, but only to veer to the E. and bring up the first prolonged torren¬ 
tial downpour we have had. The first came at 9:3^ last night, but the 
heaviest downpour came between 12 & 1:00 AM. When I finally finished re¬ 
winding Sc loading plates and turned in it was still pouring. Another heavy 
rain at 8:00 AM. We could have caught a cistern full of water had we had 
a cistern instead of pans & pots & coal oil cans. 
By 9:00 it had cleared gloriously with the second collection of decent 
4 
clouds for photography ve nave had on the-island. 
rushed cost 
haste for the Big Marsh and found the cameras and tripods
