Wed. Oct. 3rd

Took soundings off the beach at Bacolod, all day, to find place for channel. Gard,
Patsy, and White in boat with taos, and Weston and I took bearings from shore. In
evening Weston, Hill, Cooper and I took dinner with missionary here. His wife is from
Hingham. Seemed kind of strange to eat in a civilized manner. Rained hard during
the night.
