Monday 15 August 1836

At 11, O’Clock, on Friday Night, we had a dead Calm, that
cont^d untill 6, A,M, of Saturday, when a gentle Breeze
sprang up from the Southward, but did not remain long,
and since which time, there has been nothing but Calm’s
with occasional light and variable Wind’s, untill Yest^dy
at Noon, when a gentle Air sprang up, from the
Northward, that in the Even^g has gradually increased
into a clever little Breeze, but our Vessel was put
under easy Sail, the whole Night, on account of
being thought, not far from the Land, and accor-
-dingly at Day break this Morn^g, the West end
of Kangaroo-Island, was distinctly seen right
ahead, bearing due East, about 20 Miles distant.

Provender, and has likewise got a very bad Eye,
the sight of which, I am afraid he will loss _____
