Saturday, Nov. 8. 
Very thick weather. Wind tempestuous, and 
a very heavy sea. Kept the pumps going, the 
ship still making two inches of water in an 
hour. From noon till three a. m. continued 
steering with the prow to the North, and our 
course corrected n. e. by e. having continually 
a stormy wind from the w. n. w. and a pro- 
digious heavy sea. At three, the wind veered 
to the North. Wore ship’s head to the West. 
Continued thus till ten a. m. when we saw the 
coast of Anatolia, near the mouth of the Canal. 
Then steered to the \v. s.w. towards the said 
land ; having at that time let out all the reefs, 
and set the greater sails. Continued thus till 
noon, when there fell a calm; a prodigious 
heavy sea remaining from the n. w. which 
made the ship labour in such a manner, that 
the deck was continually covered with water, 
causing also great damage to the upper works 
and sails. Lowered and furled all the sails, 
leaving every thing under bare poles. — Ther- 
mometer, 53°.
