We worked all day putting up a stone hut, ten by nine feet, and seven feet high, thatched with boughs.

We finished it; it will make us safe at night.

Being a very fair hut, it will be a great source of defence.

Barometer 28.09; thermometer 68 degrees at 5 p.m.

Hope to have rain, as without it we cannot proceed.
15th.
Finished the hut, pugging it at the ends, and making the roof better.
