Clear & beautiful early ― then heavy scirocco.

No letters by the regular Mail.

Very warm & depressing. Unpacked & arranged ― & called on Miss G. ― Then, meeting De Veres, Miss Bolland & Luard & the Decies ― went on board their Yacht ― a perfectly calm [morning] ―― & so to the Steamer. C.E. Luard had returned.

Took leave of the 2 good Decies ― & came on Shore with Mrs. D.V. Majr. D.V. & Miss B.

Home, & unpacked &c. &c. ― till 6.30 ― but whether it was the weather, or the Yacht, or seeing the last of people ― ‘or what’ I don’t know, but my nerves were frightfully irritated & upset.

Dined at Miss G.’s. Not so agreable ― especially Mrs. N.

Wind North part of the night, & sea noisy.

No sleep
