Weare the other day called Twiss the captain up to him, and told him he would be much obliged to him, if he (Twiss) and Berens would do all in their power to get up the Eleven. Lord Paget had asked for an early play, but Liddell said the Eleven was so bad, it was not worth Lord Paget’s while to bring down an eleven. Rather odd of the Masters asking two of the Eight to get up the Eleven.

On our return this half June 10th we were extremely sorry to find that Marshall Master of the Shell was prevented, by severe illness, from attending to his form, and that he would not return for some time. Rev. Weare attended to the house for a short, and when the Oxford men came up Rev. G Marshall kindly superintended his brother’s house and Lloyd took the Shell.

I have not given any account of the “water” in this book as there is a book kept on purpose by the head of Water (Wright) where no doubt all races may be found.

Liddell thought it right to abuse the “eight” & keep them off the water from the 27 April to the 15 May for only having breakfast at Shottons.

At the “chairing” of the Head M.C. or liberty boy, there was a strong wish on the part of some to cut Weare, to show that they did not approve of this his conduct; it was attempted but through the better feelings of others was prevented.

Today being the 17th of March, St Patrick’s Day, we had an early Play; the Eight had leave on the water till 5 o’clock (the regular water order was not out). They went on in their new boat for the first time.
