Had the 8 to 12 watch in the fire room. When I came up I enjoyed the afternoon on deck. The sky was again full of heavy clouds, but there was no rain. The sea was smooth also, with the long low rolls which give us a regular roll and pitch, which when one gets accustomed to it is very pleasant. We have been in sight of land - on our starboard - all day. Turned in at 9 and turned out at 11:30 again to go on watch.
