Wind moderate. Pass the eastern end of St. George Id. about noon. At 4 P.M. anchor off Black Bluffs St. Paul Id. where we are boarded by several fishing boats, and later by Col. Otis, Special Agent at St. Paul and Mr. Armstrong agent of the A.C. Co. As the weather is unsettled conclude to send in instruments with Messrs Noyes & Baker to remain over night in case landing in the morning should prove impracticable. Go ashore with them and have some conversation with the residents. There are twenty five wooden buildings at St George including a rather nice looking church 20,000 seal taken there this year.
