10. A little Mist in the Morning, otherwise very clear and hot; so till 15.
15. And some Days after somewhat thick, especially in the Morning.
19, And 20. We had a dry North, and North-Easterly Wind, call'd an Hermitan, and it overcame the Sea-Breeze; found very ill for the Eyes, and most Men complained of a Feverish Temper; it was parching, but rather colder than ordinary.
21. It ceased; a clear Air and very hot.
23. We had the Hermitan again; but the Morrow it ceased; then and
25. Some Clouds, but no Rain.
Thence to 29. clear and hot; 29. the Hermitan returned, but did not continue.
Thence Clouds sometimes, but no Rain till Jan. 2.
This Month we had Three Funerals, one being Sick of the Flux laid violent Hands upon himself, through impatience of the Pain, the 3d Day.
