flung at 12 oclok And it was found the ship
was running 13 not an hour on our course
As we have had bad beginning I hope we
may have good ending. A squall struck
us at 4 oclock the Log was flung All the
line run from the reel befor the sand was
out it was supposed to be running 14 not an hour

the night which has caused the ship to
roll in the trouth of the sea untill Boxes
trunks cans &c were tumbling through
the ship & we could scarcely keep his

400 miles since the wind changed we
are having a rough day in consequenc of
the rocking of the ship

10^th A fair wind but light breeze we run 5 nots

so much sail in strong winds And gales as
the Ashburton

East wind with fore & main top gallant sails
set we run 13 nots an hour on the course
