Tuesday July 29 Foggy & rainy, wind SW. Squally. Clear a little & we start in a boat to examine Kiriloff Harbor. Beat up against tide & nasty sea reach middle point of island & take a few bearings. Then proceed to bight next south and take some tea. Then start to return not having recognized the harbor & seeing a gray object on the hill stand into a shoal rocky bight behind a reef, with a very narrow entrance and found ourselves at the anchorage - so-called. There are about four ft of water at the sheltered portion and seemingly not over 2 fms any where. It is quite unfit for any thing except the smallest vessels and far inferior to Constantine Harbor. Return in 25 minutes to NW head of latter & get aboard just as it begins to rain. P.M. sun out a little. Baker & Noyes get the magnetic & solar azimuth [[end page]] [[start page]] Hack W - 8 27 00 867 - 9 10 44.5 Take these bearings from lowpt NW of Kiriloff Harbor ----------------------------- East Cape E 5S Const.
