https://catalog.archives.gov/id/6919227 is the copy and has April 26 to July 27.
The copy may be useful if you are having trouble reading something.


Michael has done Ice Hunting for this year, but at that time the science team only wanted 8am, noon, and 8pm locations.
The science team now wants the hourly distances and courses.
Since this year was not transcribed during OW3, the science team would also like to have all the weather.

On the weather page, please enter: date, locations, distances, courses, and all the weather data in the columns outlined in red in the spreadsheet.
The patent log readings should only be entered if Knots and Tenths were not entered.
(The weather data requested here is the same as it was during OW3.)
One weather transcription (Stream 1 in the Tracker and highlighted in orange) is sufficient.

On the events page please enter: date, location information and sailing information.
Other events are optional. Since Michael has already done the ice, mentions of ice are optional.

One person can do both weather and events, but the system allows one person to do the weather page (Stream 1) and a second person to do the events page (Ice hunting and/or Stream 3).

Every transcriber needs to enter the date.
The date is used to organize the pages.
(If one transcriber does events and weather and they are in the same image, the date is only entered once)

I'm with Joan. I took it as a badly formed N. Given his handwriting, perhaps the logkeeper had other redeeming qualities.  ;D  The entry for passing showers is also a good clue.

Note by Comd'g Off'r:-

Received information that an epedemic of measles had broken out at Cape Prince of Wales, that several natives had died and that the children of Mr Lopp missionary at that place were sick. Steamed to Prince of Wales to render assistance. Upon arrival Surgeon Hawley was sent ashore. Upon his return he reported that five natives had died and many were still ill, the children of Mr Lopp improving. Gave such advice and medicine as were necessary.

And with November done, this year is done for me - I will leave the rest to jd570b.

I will now move to December 1913, since it has the same template as 1914-1917, and do that, then go on to 1914.

The voyage for 1900 has been calculated and is here (https://drive.google.com/open?id=121jzF85lhkJ1p0krwt1UVhOO6sNmebbe). The long transcription, over 5100 hours and with all the weather data, was done by jd507b and Hanibal.
