Sun. Sept. 30th


Patsy, Gard, & I hired a boat and went out for a sail in the morning, got becalmed so
we went over the side and had a good swim. Went out again in p.m. and took Hill
along. About two miles out we got caught in a squall and started for shore with Hill
& I in the outrigger and the boat just hitting the high places. About half way in the
boon broke and Patsy who was steering fell overboard. Finally got him and the
mainsail aboard and drove in under a bare jib. Wrote to Ma, June and Carrie. Fine
day. Move back to Manila to-morrow for a da yor two.
