Friday 12 August 1836

This 24 hours gentle breeses from the North
employd shifting our dry provitions in a
dry and safe place in the after hold I took
three men with me to the well to git it cleard
out and sink a cask to git our water it is
about 5 miles from the ship or rather where
we intend to bring the ship
In the everning had family prayer read
the 18^th chapt of genercis with a short surmon.
my mind to day while clearing the well was
drawn out in contemplation concerning the
whoman of samara & our saviour at the well
