Tuesday 12th May 1835 –
The wind very high with
Rain during the Night - and
this morning about 9 A M -
it had every appearance of
fine weather and wind
fair - 11 Oclock the wind
came fresh again from the
Westward with heavy Rain
I saw the Port Officer (Dr Smith)
who said that we could not
get out that the Moon would
be at her full to morrow and
most likely we should have a
change of weather, the weather
now appear very fickle -
paid for offal for Dogs 5/8 to
Butcher – 4 Oclock the wind
blowing strong from due West
about 8 Oclock the clouds cleared
off and the night became very
fine the moon at its full and
every appearance of a fine day
