the county seat of Lord Palmerston,
who is now residing there as the flag
is floating over it. A sign that it is
occupied. Then we passed the Goodwin
Sands leaving them on our right. These
were marked by several Light Ships
to warn navigators off their dangerous
grounds. Shortly after the town of Ramsgate
came in view; is a good sized town
and very prettily situated. The Cliffs
along here present a most strange appear-
ance their white face being varigated
with dark spots which are caused I
suppose by deep indentations or caves
in their face. Then we rounded the
North Foreland and passed a large
town called "The King's Downs" where a
great number of vessels were riding
at anchor. About two o'clock, finding
we could not make much progress
by tacking, as we had been doing
first one way and then another
ever since we left Dover. We came
to a stand and the anchor was dropped

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.
