ARRIVAL AT DEAL. 
403 
September, when a violent gale occurred, that did great 
damage to the shipping, and caused the destruction of 
many vessels much more sea- worthy than our own. The 
next morning we had four feet of water in the hold. 
On the 1st of October the pilot came on board, and 
Captain Turner and myself landed at Deal, after an 
eighty days’ voyage from Para; thankful for having 
escaped so many dangers, and glad to tread once more 
on English ground.
