  95|The wind steady and moderate at NE; atmosphere clear; horizon well defined;|
    |a long swell from SW. This swell, which was not high, produced an obvious  |
    |effect on the dip angle, as observed, the two horizons alternately         |
    |separating and overlapping; this change was however so slight that I have  |
    |not been able to measure it.                                               |
  96|All other circumstances as in Nov. 95. Parts of the horizon observed NE    |
    |and SW.                                                                    |
