[[insertion, clipping from ship's bulletin]] 6 JAN -- Posit 50-11.8S 174-37.3W. SOA 13.5 kts. Enroute Palmer Peninsula. [[/insertion]]
Here we are bowling along at great rate [[underlined]] 14 [[/underlined]] knots, slightly over cast weather, trace of white caps, some slight spray coming over, and an invgoraTing breeze, and stimulating temperature.
The roll of ship is slight no more today at least than on a Hancock yacht. No one could ask for safer traveling (or better meals) The temperature here the morning after leaving Christchurch is 59⁰, water  temp 50.9⁰. At 4 p.m. as most of the day it is, and has been most glorious weather, for sun, not too cold wind, easy sea with waves of only one and two feet in height you might just as well be cruising the coast of California. What is the air temperature there no higher. There is little to do aboard. Rearranging things. Tomorrow we have a session with the engineer a Mr. Cunningham to get traps in shape, to build perhaps a dredge, and to fix up a piece of pipe for taking bottom samples, and oh! yes a rack to have a few Berlese funnels in which one dries out land and bird nest debris to recover any insects that may be hiding in it.

Transcription Notes:
Waldo's use of carbons often leads to lines being written on top of each other.
