Departed from Pak hoi at 8:30 P.M.  Went out at 8 in a boat with the Dr. & Capt.  On the way out there was a remarkable display of phosphorus in the water.  The paddles dipped liquid silver as did the waves at the side of the boat & in the wake.  I have never seen any phosphorus so perfuse or brilliant.  The Dr. said this was a common affair here.
