Cloudy - but cleared off - warm. Windows up - first time. River after rising yesterday quite up to last year's highest mark fell last night 4 inches below that mark. Corona did not come down until 11:30 a.m. She stopped an hour at Orange Grove to take on 39 heads of sugar and 240 barrels molasses (from hot room). Captain Libano could not account for the fall of river last night as he had heard of no crest above. On further consideration Mr. Tucker and Mr. Boote concluded that it would pay better to make Donaldson molasses into sugar - instead of simply reboiling it. Wrote Mr. Beirne about this. Wrote Betty in reply.
