Sunday 4 September 1836

4^th (Sunday) This day had been spent by us quietly & orderly but it has been a Melancholy day to me. I cannot & will not endure this state of things it shall be mended by some means or other. I had no divine service to day. Capⁿ Martin spent the afternoon with me ashore & we agreed as a last effort to establish order (by fair means) he should invite M^r Beare & M^r Birdseye to lunch on board the following morning & that I should follow in my boat & try whether face to face with them in his Cabin we could not all come to some better understanding.
