"Land Ho." I immediately jumped out
of bed and without taking time to
dress I threw a blanket around me and
ran upon deck to have a view of Old Eng-
land which we had for so many long
days wished to see. Mr. Coad pointed out
to me what at first I took to be nothing
more than a cloud lying very close
to the surface of the sea but which
upon gazing steadily gradually assumed
the outlines of the distant land. This
I was informed by Mr. Coad was Lands
End the most westerly point of England.
By the time I had dressed and had
my breakfast, we had approached still
nearer to the land and we could now see
more distinctly its more prominent features,
such as hills and valleys, trees, fields of
grass and yellow & harvest fields. Far
inland one tall hill towers above the
lower hills lying along the coast;
this Mr. Coad informs me is called
Carn Brae and is situated in Cornwall
soon after we passed Lizzards Point with

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.
