and_o snow_v weather_n but_o very_o fair_a and_o clear_a i_o be_v yet_o doubtful_a of_o more_o wind_n and_o therefore_o cause_v the_o man_n to_o furl_v the_o fore_a topsail_n and_o lower_v down_o

this_o be_v still_o in_o my_o judgement_n that_o our_o ship_n do_v hale_v as_o much_o as_o when_o our_o sail_n be_v out_o then_o we_o hale_v up_o our_o main_a sail_n and_o still_o the_o ship_n have_v the_o same_o listen_v as_o with_o a_o large_a wind_n which_o to_o my_o judgement_n may_v be_v half_a a_o streak_n or_o thereabouts_o by_o this_o time_n it_o be_v two_o of_o the_o clock_n than_o our_o man_n try_v the_o pump_n and_o find_v little_a or_o no_o water_n in_o she_o the_o man_n at_o the_o helm_n call_v out_o that_o the_o candle_n burn_v so_o blue_a in_o the_o lantern_n that_o it_o give_v little_a or_o no_o light_n and_o three_o several_a time_n go_v out_o so_o that_o i_o hold_v the_o candle_n to_o the_o look-out_a which_o candle_n do_v burn_v very_o well_o and_o show_v a_o good_a light_n but_o of_o a_o sudden_a our_o ship_n will_v not_o feel_v her_o helm_n so_o kind_o as_o before_o and_o bring_v all_o our_o sail_n aback_o then_o our_o ship_n heel_v as_o much_o to_o windward_n as_o before_o to_o leeward_n the_o glass_n be_v out_o we_o go_v to_o the_o pump_n and_o find_v vo_o water_n in_o the_o ship_n but_o she_o do_v not_o steer_v well_o neither_o can_v i_o find_v the_o reason_n be_v still_o so_o fair_a weather_n this_o unkind_a steerage_n make_v i_o urgent_a to_o try_v the_o pump_n yet_o more_o but_o i_o can_v not_o get_v the_o upper_a box_n to_o work_v nor_o stir_v but_o have_v take_v that_o up_o and_o try_v with_o the_o pump_n hook_n we_o can_v not_o come_v near_o the_o low_a box_n by_o a_o foot_n and_o a_o half_a which_o to_o my_o judgement_n be_v hinder_v by_o something_o like_o a_o bull-fish_n or_o woolsack_n that_o as_o we_o force_v down_o give_v up_o again_o with_o the_o hook_n whereupon_o mistrust_v that_o all_o be_v not_o well_o i_o cause_v our_o man_n to_o keep_v the_o coat_n of_o our_o pump_n up_o and_o myself_o loosen_a the_o tack_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n i_o order_v two_o man_n to_o loose_v the_o boat_n which_o they_o do_v be_v lash_v in_o three_o place_n yet_o they_o do_v not_o remember_v to_o this_o hour_n that_o they_o loosen_a any_o of_o they_o but_o the_o middlemost_a and_o with_o three_o man_n in_o she_o the_o boat_n go_v

the_o boat_n give_v such_o loud_a cry_n as_o fright_v he_o at_o the_o helm_n who_o come_v run_v out_o unknown_a to_o i_o but_o then_o find_v the_o ship_n come_v near_o the_o wind_n then_o former_o i_o
