Entry for 26/10/1825
Wednesday 26th. The wind contrary & blowing pretty fresh all the morning, but it has now calmed very much 1 oClock P.M. yesterday, the weather being fine we put up the Royal Masts.
Mr. Ryrie has a Piano on board, which has just been played & resembles very much in tune the Piano at Hillend.
