The weather is clear and fine. All are well onboard the ship. We steamed out into the bay where we laid until 2 p.m. when we started off for Manila. Four men were left ashore: one lieutenant, one of the doctors and two privates. We also took aboard seven new recruits from Honolulu five of which had been serving as Regulars and two new ones. The night is cloudy and the sea very rough.
