The fcurvy now began to fpread very fafi: among 
the crew, and by the 6th, they had nine men Fridays, 
unable to get out of their hammocks, and many others 
complained very much : fwelled gums, the flefh exceed- 
ing black and hard, a contraction of the linews, with a 
total debility ; were the general appearances. Wine was 
daily ferved out to them, and there was four-krout on 
on board, but the people refufed to eat it. From this to 
the 17th they had little variety; by that time the people Tuefday 1 7 
were in a deplorable ftate, for with every perfon on 
board, the Captain included, they could only mufter ten 
men able to do duty, and fome of them were in a very 
weakly ftate : four-krout, which before had been re» 
fufed, now began to be fought after, and they had all 
the Captain's frefli flock, himfelf and officers living 
folely on fait provifions ; and to add to their melancholy 
fituation the wind hung almoft conilantly in the eaftern 
board, fo that they could fcarcely make any progrefs. 
For feveral days they had very fqually unfettled weather, 
attended with aim oil co nil ant heavy rain, and frequent 
ftorms of thunder and lightning. On the 24th,. being Tuefday 24 
then in 32°. 12'. fouth latitude, and 207°. 28'. eafc 
longitude, the wind fliifted to the weft ward, but the 
weather ftill continued fqually and unfettled. On the 
7th July, in 21°. 57'. fouth latitude, they fell in with ^olday?
