We have arrived at St. Stevens and are picking up our cargoes and several passengers. Mr. Hunter is a man from the company. Doctor Fielding, a naturalist, and his assistant Peterson are coming aboard. Some of the crew have gone into town for "supplies" - I didn'a ask exactly what they were after.

I seems that mister Cotworth's looking glass has gone missing, in addition to my buttons and a portion of our fresh fruit supply. I've informed all hands to keep their eyes open for any strange happenings. Hopefully our bein in port for a couple of days won't inspire any wood be theif to go running off into the jungle with these or more substacial of our belongins'.
