Sunday 2 October 1836

2^nd Oct^r On waking this morning blowing hard
a terrible hubbub on deck & heavy thumping under our
quarter It was the Hatch Boat which had been anchored
astern of the Brig and on veering got close to her damaged enough
to give the Carpenter a week’s work. Field and Hill from the
Mast head today said they saw a river to the Southw^d
a short distance down the Coast but it was blowing
to hard to land.
