Rainy early & wind: ― colder & cloudy & rain later.

Worked at Butrinto ― but off & on=wise ― till 5. No steamer.

Came, Hutton ― at 3.

At 3.30 ― Mrs. Maude & the Forts: ― Mrs. F. admires the big Corfu A. ―

Sate at work afterwards ― Hutton by me, ― & then walked with him to the 1 Gun battery & back by 6.15.

Hutton is a really nice fellow.

His description of Capt. Murray in a boat at Luro! & his mania for shooting wild geese.

Dined at 6.45.

Penned out Ζαγώρι drawings till 10.30.

The Maudes dining out ― quiet.

Spiro has been, & says Politi will let me his floor ― one of them, when vacant.

ˇ[Saturday’s] Steamer came in ― at 9! ―

Thoughts of a yacht life from April, May & June along the Coast.
