night last night wind has changed to
the south west And we have a smooth
sea we took ship at 6 oclock this morning
on the Nothern which enables us to run
nearly our course for the hard N western
gales has blown us south of the gulf stream
nearly opposite the Bermuda Island but
we are now again running towards N York

much out of order constant risings of
the stomach causes me to spit so much
that it is vary injurious to my health
wind turned against us again in the
afternoon it again blew a gale in the evening
& nearly all sail was taken in And
we had another rough night we
gain but little if any on our journey
we are sumthing as at the beginning
tosting about against head winds
without making head way
