Tuesday 3 May 1836

We have had beautiful Weather, with a moderate Breeze from
the N,E, since Saturday, but which increased last Night
to a fine fresh Breeze from E,N,E, and has cont^d
all this Day, sending our Vessel along, at the Rate of
6, and 8, Knots an Hour, and as we were in between
22E, and 23E, of N, Lat, at Noon, there is little doubt of
us being now in the regular N,E, Trade Winds  _____
There has been a very great number of Porpoise’s swim-
-ing about in our track, for the last few Days   ______
