Sunday 3 April 1836

Most of our People, went on Shore to Church, this Morn^g,
but Stephen Sessions never came back to the Ship,
so that I think, the uncommon severe Weather, that we
have experienced, must have terrified him from proceeding
further on the Voyage, as he always behaved himself very
well, and seem’d to be an honest, industrious, sort of Man
and in the Even^g one of the Sailors also decamp’d without
leave, but being a worthless kind of Fellow, was not at
all regretted  __________________
