At 1030 PM observed a very bright meteor, its bearing about NW. It commenced about 30o above the horizon and pursued a westerly course at angle of 20o with the horizon, and disappeared about 5o above the horizon. When first seen, its color was purple, rapidly changing to green and white.

18 April 1878
Noon : Lat 36° 01'N, Long 74° 27'W
I think they crossed the edge of the Gulf Stream at 1130. These are their sea surface temperatures:
Time Temperature
11:00 73
12:00 66 | 60
13:00 61
14:00 57
15:00 52
16:00 50
Between 11 and 11:30 o'clock, the wind moderated considerably, the water changed from a blue to light green in color, and in temperature fell from 73o to 66o with moderate sea; at the same time there was a corresponding fall of wet and dry bulb thermometers.
