Day Five
No location recorded
"In the early hours of the morning there were rain squalls at intervals but otherwise all was peaceful. At 8 am we set the main topga'n'sail. I had a delightful job, it was to grease down the main topgallant mast. With greasy hands, greasy rigging and a greasy pot makes it a slippery job but I came through safely. The day continued fine but towards evening the sky clouded but the rain squalls were very light."
