108 Khitrov's journal: "We and the petty officers had a consultation with the 

 Captain Commander, The winds had continuously been contrary and of water we 

 had only 15 casks. It was dangerous either to go on or to wait for a chajige of wind, 

 and we therefore unanimously agreed to sail N in the hope of finding a place to take 

 water, without which a great misfortune would overtake us."
