It has rained all night and most of the day. In the afternoon, about 50 of our men hired a yacht and went out in the bay to visit our recruits. They reported them all well. Five men were left in the hospital at Honolulu and one is home on a furlough. They report having rough weather most of the time but have had plenty to eat. Three of them sneaked off the ships and came ashore spending the night in our quarters. Sid Beighley and [Melvin] Bryson are among the sick, both with malarial fever. We received an issue of fresh meat and engaged two Chinamen as cooks. [Elmer?] Schrock, a recruit who was left in the hospital in San Francisco, arrived on the Senator and took up quarters with us. The same men remain on the sick list. No drills this day.
