Daybook (8 August 1839 - 12 January 1840)
30 A rough sea a severe gale at night, the ship rocked
& pitched to such a degree it was with difficulty
that we kept our births [berths] while at the same time trunks,
Boxes, & barrels were tumbling about the cabin this with
the noise of the officers & sailors reefing & taking in sail
with the help of the wind over the riggn made much confusion
