Wednesday, 9th November.

Pullen left us again to join Colonel Light at Holdfast Bay. It blew so hard yesterday that one of our Sealer’s dingy that he was towing over for us to fish with broke adrift and was lost, a great disappointment to all hands as we have now no means of procuring fish. These little incidents have produced so much excitement that but little has been done to my hut the last two days.
