Saturday 18 June 1836

There has been a clever Breeze from the N,Westward
since Thursday, during all which time we have never
gone less than from 8, to 9, Knots an Hour, but this Even^g
the Wind has increased to a strong Gale, putting us under
snug Canvas,   _________     Mess^rs Powell, and Tindall,
thought proper to have a few Blow’s, at each other Yest^dy,
arising from an old Grudge between them, but they were
speedily separated, each having got a slight Wound, in
his Face   _________   This afternoon our Cap^t order’d
Powell, (who always stands Butcher) to kill the Sow, that
was purchased at Dartmouth, for the purpose of giving
all the People, a fresh Mess, to-morrow   _______
M^rs Chandler still continues dangerously “Ill”, and this
Morn^g it was deem’d advisable to take half a Pint of
Blood from her   ________________
