LOG Fourth Day
Barometer dry and blistered. Mercury bubbling.
At roll-call we were shy twenty passengers. The Captain thinks the ones unaccounted for fell overboard during the excitement at Larchmont.
Hennessy Martel, Tom Ginn, and several others are in double irons for cheering the enemy. All the souse-renunciators are suffering tortures from the frightful drouth. Tom Ginn declares that he has had a regular stokehole thirst ever since we left Larchmont, and Hennessy [78] ]Martel offers to swap his Panhard and fifty shares of unassessable Hot Copper for three fingers of lumberjack rye.
