nearly a Calm, with the most beautiful clear Sky, but the Sea
still very rough   ________    At which time the Body of M^rs
Chandler was committed to the Deep, it was sew’d up in two or
three old Sack’s, with a weight of old Iron, (in a Bag), made
fast to the Feet, for the purpose of making it sink  _______

the Quarter Deck, where the Cap^t read over the Burial service

it was 8, O’Clock in the Morn^g of June 2^d when this Woman
threw herself into the Sea, and at the same Hour of July 2^d
her Remains were thrown overboard, and both Morn^gs being
remarkably bright and clear, after having had heavy Rain,
and Wind, the previous Night   _______     at 4, P,M, a
clever Breeze arose from the N,Westward, which cont^d
to the end of this Day, sending us along, at the Rate, of
7 or 8 Knots, an Hour   ____________
