December, 8th.

Moderate with passing showers. Filld casks with salt. Send 2nd officer * away at day light to catch a few fish to help our beef for on examination I find we have not more beef & pork than will last for 10 months that is 5 months longer; no cask running the weight it ought to do. I find the cutter in the same predicament.

* Mr. McNab.
