30^th The wind is again dead ahead And
we have to persue the old course to beat
against gales & stormes & rough winds I
was quite sick this morning And vomited
the first time since I have been on board
it is truly A gloomy day we had a gale at
night it rocked so bad I could sccarcely
keep in bed

January 31, 1846 ~ Saturday

31^st Rough sea & head winds we are all
still sick & no appetite

February 1, 1846 ~ Sunday

Feb 1^st 1846 Sunday I arose quite unwell
this morning being rocked so badly through
the night we have a calm this morning
this is the 10^th day since we left Liverpool
And it is supposed we are still in the mouth
of the British Channel opposite Cape Clear
about 300 miles from Liverpool about what
we ought to make in 24 hours with a good
fair breeze this is bad beginning certainly
what the end will be time must determin
I read the latest London times to day but
found nothing important in them It is
still gloomy times with us

February 2, 1846 ~ Monday

2nd This is the most cheering day we have
had since we left Liverpool we are now clear
of the channel and a good breeze from the
North west enabled us to run nearly on our
course about 8 not an hour it blew a gale
for a little time last night I slep well &
had some plesant dreams we are
getting some better in health & spirits
