one of the sailors and played a few
tunes for the amusement of the
company. After which we had a game
of "All Found'' in which [[Lieut Cummings]] and
his lady, [[Mr. & Mrs. Crittenden]], [[Mrs. Coad]]
and myself took part, and in which
we got so deeply interested that we
should probably have kept it up very
late had not we been ordered to put
out our lights and retire at ten accord-
ing to the rules of the ship.

Thursday Aug 6th
Provision day again; fervently hope
and pray it may be the last; had
a slight addition to our allowance
six herrings each in lieu of the codfish
about which we mad a stir some days
since. Bread worse than ever and
exceedingly musty. It has been a
beautiful day with the wind still in the
west. From all appearances we shall
probably have a storm tonight as it
looks very black and the barometer is
falling very fast.

Transcription Conventions

Spelling: Maintain original spelling (including u/v, i/j, and ff). Long "s" should be replaced with a regular "s". Terminal long "i" characters are transcribed as "i" not "j".
Hyphenation: Preserve hyphens (including "=" characters) at the ends of lines.
Capitalization: Maintain original
Punctuation: Add modern periods, but don't add punctuation like commas and apostrophes.
Deletions: Deleted characters and words are tagged with "strike" and then displayed with the line through them.
Symbols: For apothecary and alchemical symbols, use these symbols followed by the meaning of the symbol in brackets: Rx [recipe]; ℈ [scruple]; ʒ [dram]; ʒs [half dram]; ℥ [ounce]; ℥s [half ounce]; ℔ [pound].
For roman numerals following symbols that indicate amount, i.e., j=1, ij=2, iij= 3, v=5, type arabic numeral in brackets following roman numeral: i [1], ii [2], iii [3], v [5].
Line Breaks: Hit return once after each line ends. Two returns indicate a new paragraph, which is usually indentation following the preceding sentence in the original. The times at the end of each entry should get their own paragraph, since the software does not support indentation in the transcriptions.
Illegible text: Indicate illegible readings in single square brackets: [Dr?]
A single newline indicates a line-break in the original document, and will not appear as a break in the text in some views or exports. Two newlines indicate a paragraph, and will appear as a paragraph break in all views.
