agate planes, and it suggested the cautions to repeat the observations.
We suffered determined to repeat them: and as the water you/he/she was rising in
the mine there was not anybody duration to be lost. We re-sent the tools
down, and it made observations the 16, 17 and 18. The 19 me
sent the tools on, for the water it was near our station, and
Sedgwick, Whewell, and me they went on a geologic consignment to the
Lizard. On our return we met Sheepshanks and the others, and it founded the
results of the last observations unsatisfactory. The results of
to compare the pendulums was discordant, and the knife sharpens of the
defective pendulum very judiciously had altered. We now abandoned
observations, with the feeling that our time had totally been lost,
mainly through the guilt of the creator of the pendulum (T. Jones). On
the 28 that we have manufactured a consignment to Penzance and the other places, and
on September 17 arrived to Cambridge.
"During the job to Dolcoath we made the various consignments as
opportunity offered. This way we walked to Carn Brea and we testified the
fighting, the game common of the country. On another occasion
Sedgwick, Whewell, and me they had a capital the geologic consignment to
Trewavas Head to examine veins of granite. We visited to Pendarves and
Trevince, and it already made the consignment to the Lizard assigned to,
and saw a lot of the sights in the neighbourhood. After having visited
Penzance on the conclusion of our job we saw Head Cornwall (where
Whewell upset me in a gig), and he/she returned way homewards of
Truro, Plymouth (where we saw the watering-place and breakwater: also
the Dockyard and descents in one of the immersion-bells that you/they work),
Exeter, Salisbury and Portsmouth. In to return from Camborne in 1826
Me lost the manager of our papers. It was an odd thing that, in to go
through Exeter on our way to Camborne in 1828, I found them complete

with my address.
