Day Two
No location was recorded.
"When I awoke I found a good fresh breeze blowing and the two lower top ga'n'sails furled. I had just finished clearing up the Half Deck and at 7 am the first sea came aboard. I very nearly got my sea-boots full up and five minutes later I just missed getting completely wet.
At 8 am all hands took in the mainsail. At 8.45 I was called out as it was all hands to wear ship. When I came on deck at noon I had the pleasant job of sending down the signal halyards from the foremast. We then took in the fore and main upper topsails and it was blowing a moderate gale.
At 8 pm all hands wore ship and during the operation a rain squall came down on us and we consequently got wet."
