Summary: Journal for the month of November. Entries are written across two pages and include notes on the weather, persons on watch, absences, as well as tasks and repairs completed at the lighthouse. Clifford caused a gear to snag in the beacon mechanism, was ready to resign two days later, and did not keep the journal for a week during Lawrence's absence from the station. On the 28th the lighthouse inspector arrived with William A. Bethel, noting he would take charge on Sunday the 30th. S. C. Lawrence resigned the same day. Bethel's first entry was a typo as he noted Sunday to be the 29th and Monday to be the 30th.
