26th We have A south west Gale to day with
rain yet we cannot run our our course when
we shall ever get to New york the Lord knoweth
but it is vary discourageing times to us it is 5
weeks to day since we left the docks at Liverpool
And we do not seem to be making any head way
but beating against constant gales & stormes
My prayer is that the Lord will spedily cut short
our passage by giving us fair wind
A small Brig passed under our bow within a few
rods of us of about 200 tons in the fore part of
the day And another one in the Afternoon we
had A strong gale through the night And a vary
rough time
