St JagoThis day or rather the 6th was originally fixed for sailing but the Captain is so much engaged with experiments on Magnetism, that the time is put off till tomorrow. I was engaged with my usual occupation of collecting marine animals in the middle of the day and examining them in the evening. Daily do I feel myself very hardly used, when on returning to the ship I find it growing dark soon after six oclock. The days are exactly the same as in a dry hot summer in England, but it is very surprising the sun choosing to set before its accustomed time about 8 oclock.
