Barometer 28.59; thermometer 79 degrees at 5 p.m.
9th.
Very cloudy this morning, although the barometer is rising.

My brother and Pierre started on the flying trip; intend following on their tracks on Saturday.

Could not take another set of lunars on account of the cloudy weather.

Was very busy all day repairing pack-saddles and putting everything in good order.

Did away with one pack-saddle, and repaired the others with the wool.
