NOV 1^st We left the wharf at Portland, at 7 oclock AM. on board
the Bangor, Howse captain. The wind that had been blowing for several
days caused a high sea, & it still continued. We had not gone far before
we came in sight of the waves & breakers mast high. We had a snow-
storm during the day, most all of us on board were sick: after being
tosted upon the sea for eight hours, I landed In company with Mrs
Woodruff at Owls Head, at 3 oclock PM. our fare $6. I enquired
among the shiping for a passage to Vinal haven (the Islands) I could
find none. I called upon several to get conveyance to Thomaston
but without affect, & after spending several hours in the snow
storm & suspens about getting further, I returned to Mr Paine's
tavern whare I had left Mrs Woodruff. I retired to the grove,
& knelt down to call upon God in the same place whare Elder
Hale & myself made prayer & supplication unto God, for deliv-
erance, on the 19^th Aug. The Lord herd our prayers then
& I believed He would again: & I called upon him to open
our way. I then returned to the Inn, retired to rest with a
determination to trust in God. distance of the day 84 miles
