IX A.M. - The weather so unpropitious that I must delay my contemplated tramp, since Sunrise, it has thickened up & now a light snow is falling, while the mountains all around are enveloped from view. I had made arrangements for "Sharkey" ( ) the company of yesterday, to go with me.

To-day measured distance base of Budington Mount to vessel in direct line - found it to be 4455 feet. Consequently my pacing is too short for the measure I allow to wit - 2 5/10 feet. From measurement & the angles have calculated height of Budington Mount & find it to be 7 feet less than 500 - that is 493 feet above the level of the Sea.
