heavy seas were continually being shipped
some of which came against our little
house with so fearful violence that I was
apprehensive of its being washed away.
Some little damage was done such as
carrying away the [spout?], the reel and
splitting some of the sails but we
bore safely through it and this
morning we are sailing gently along
with a tolerable wind.

Sunday Aug. 11

Last night we had a dance in the
steerage. The weather today has been so
warm and pleasant that I think we
have got into quite a different climate.
We have had almost a perfect calm
all day, as the evening was so fine
and the moon so beautiful we stopped
on deck till ten o'clock.

Monday Aug. 12

The calm last evening was succeeded by
a strong fair wind, which is pushing us
along bravely. I have been very sick
all day. The provisions were served out

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.
