Hi George I have received a much better image of 4May1916 thru 6May1916. This changes most of the characters from illegible to legible. There are still a few outliers. The updated log, now revision 2.0 (I had to pick a number, I liked "two") is linked. I have also looked carefully at Worsley's note about the direction and distance to Bird Island, Wallis Island and etc. There is no question that he calculates this via traverse tables or (not in the logbook) calculation. My spreadsheet matches his numbers precisely, when performing this by my 1849 copy of Bowditch. This piece of the puzzle is resolved. I can post the spreadsheet if there is interest.
