March 24, 1899. Clear and pleasant with a moderate breeze and sea from the south, which helps the Badger along considerably. Same course (N28° W). Mustered at quarters at 9:30 and exercised at setting up drill. Tested flood cocks and found item in good working order. Charter received 1 week extra duty for leaving boat without permission while acting as a boat keeper. Got the main and quarter awnings up, which they spread. Barometer steady. Had quarters at 4:15 and exercised a physical drill, then 22 cal. target practice. Toward evening, overcast and cloudy.
