Day Fifty Eight
No location recorded
"2 am a mist descended upon us and we have been going all day with a good breeze. The breeze increased at 6.30 pm and the mist cleared a bit but became thicker a bit later.
The cabin had chicken for dinner today and after five had had a meal of the poor thing none was left. Bosun had its liver or something but I did not relish it. Its looks took my appetite away.
At 10 pm we hauled down the staysails and furled the two upper topga'n'sails. It being misty the rigging and sails were all wet and the yard not being down properly we had a lively time. 11 pm brailed in the spanker."
