No sooner was the bird frightener blown out of harbour than a few geese returned to their station, though not more than about 18. I used them kindly by leaving them in peace till the ground ebb, when they began to taste the feed, on which I fired one shot and blew over 9 of them. 26th.--Up at daylight, but there came on wind and rain; so I worked for several hours to put all our stores, ammunition &c. in proper order, of which it was much in need, and about twelve the weather cleared up enough for us to get afloat.

The once retired wilderness off Need's-oar is now swarming with vessels for gunning, eel picking, and peruvinkling. February ist.--Extraordinary change of weather.
