We have had most delightful Weather since Monday, with
a gentle Air of Wind from the S,Westward, untill Yestdy
Eveng when it became nearly Calm for a few Hour’s, but
at 11, P,M, a fine little Breeze sprang up from N,N,W,
which gradually increased towards Noon of this Day, into a
smart steady Wind, sending us along at the Rate of
8 Knots an Hour __________
Thursday 16 June 1836
