noise_n about_o the_o ship_n side_n that_o we_o can_v not_o hear_v one_o another_o speak_v whether_o this_o be_v because_o of_o y_fw-fr e_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n or_o for_o any_o other_o reason_n

that_o it_o draw_v to_o the_o line_n whereas_o the_o heat_n be_v most_o vehement_a know_v that_o from_o thence_o come_v the_o saltness_n of_o the_o sea_n and_o therefore_o that_o shall_v be_v more_o

so_o in_o like_a case_n the_o water_n be_v not_o temperate_a but_o under_o the_o line_n the_o temperatnesse_n of_o the_o water_n do_v follow_v the_o temperatnesse_n of_o the_o air_n therefore_o there_o be_v a_o good_a reason_n why_o the_o water_n in_o that_o part_n be_v more_o sweet_a than_o in_o other_o place_n be_v pass_v this_o line_n we_o find_v the_o sea_n more_o and_o more_o calm_a
