"Man the Windlass", and "Heave Anchor"
which was cheerfully obeyed as we are all
sick and tired of swining here and look-
ing at Liverpool. We have had very disa-
greeable weather all week, rainy and
windy. Today has been an exception; until
towards evening, when the tug left us off
Holyhead, the fog and rain set int, completely
hiding the coast from site. As it was ex-
ceedingly disagreeable on deck we all ad-
journed to the steerage in the evening
and had a dance.

Wednesday July 24

I have been so horribly seasick this three
days past that I scarcely know what has
transpired. As soon as I was on my legs on
Sunday morning I was immediately attacked
and obliged to retire again to bed, where
I remained all day. Monday being provision
day I was obliged to get up to get them
which was I think the most horrible job I
ever had in my life. Every body is seasick
I think without exception. Yesterday I was

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.
