Journal

Fresh Gales and fair Weather but a continuance of much Sea which by breaking almost constantly over us, we are miserably wet and suffer much cold in the night.

This afternoon I suffered a prodigious sickness from the oily nature of part of the stomach of the Fish which had fallen to my lot at Dinner. At Sun Down I served an allowance of Bread and water for Supper, and in the morning after a miserable night I began to see an alteration for the worse with more than half my people whose looks rather indicated an approaching end to their distresses. They Received of Bread and water for Breakfast and Dinner.
