which was glorious, had no fully
broken and we were going up the river
at last by the aid of steam. We
were now done with the changable wind
which had been for so long a time
a source of our utmost anxiety, and
were in possession of a more certain and
surer agent. We proceeded up the bay which
was filled with vessels mostly schooners
proceeding out to sea (being a fair wind
for them) and at ten we dropped
anchor about twenty miles above the
Capes with the land on both sides
just visible. As we are now done
with the sails, and the rigging the
sailors have been very busy in dismantling
the ship and in stowing the sails
away below, so now divested of her sails
the old ship looks very strange, and
naked. At five this afternoon the
tug came back and once more took
us in tow, and we all crowded on
deck to enjoy the lovely evening and as
much of the land as we can see in

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.
