Transcription Notes:
Wonder if his watch must have stopped at 19th Encampment? mandc: Doubt it. Have to check later pages to see if he made further time related readings. I think the entry means it was so cloundy that he could not see the sun to determine Latitude or Longitude because the sun "?" not visible. For a description of the voyage depicted in this image, see pp 416-18 in Hall's book. See also page 426 of Hall's book: "A short distance from Gold Cove we made our twenty-third encampment, on the south side of Jones's Cape, not far from the fourth encampment."
