a man to direct me which were to be in waiting
early in the morning. At nine o'clock
the barge pulled up alongside of the
ship and I at once proceded to get the
things ashore. After a great deal of diffi-
culty, I got them examined and passed
which of course was a great relief to
me, and we pitched them into the barge
and pulled off. In a few minutes time
after threading our way among the innumer-
able barges with which the Dock was
filled we reached the wharf. But here
again they would not allow us to pass
the gate until we had received
final paper from the Dock Keeper, which
after about an hours delay we obtained
after paying a small fee. We were now free
of the Dock and in a very short time
we reached the Public House and I deliver-
ed the goods to their owner the Sailor.
I now returned to the ship and addressed
myslef to the task of getting my things

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.
