18 Khitrov's journal: 4 A.M. "We looked in vain from the crosstrees for the St. 

 Paul. According to the understanding we were to go to the place where she was last 

 seen by us, which place was by our reckoning NNEKE, 9 German miles distant, but 

 head winds prevented our doing so. On that account the Captain Commander decided 

 to go to latitude 46 °N, on the rhumb from Vaua SE by E. We cleared the foresail and 

 steered SSE, lowered the foreyards, set both topsails reefed."
