which_o be_v all_o the_o provision_n we_o have_v we_o also_o put_v in_o a_o boats-mast_n and_o sail_n four_o oar_n a_o bonnet_n tarpaulin_n a_o hammock_n and_o a_o deal-board_n a_o hand-speak_a and_o

most_o bitter_o our_o boat_n be_v not_o above_o six_o inch_n free_a so_o that_o have_v we_o take_v they_o in_o we_o must_v have_v sink_v by_o the_o ship_n side_n so_o we_o cast_v off_o and_o leave_v the_o six_o passenger_n on_o board_n yet_o be_v we_o twelve_o man_n in_o the_o boat_n and_o we_o think_v ourselves_o in_o almost_o as_o bad_a a_o condition_n as_o they_o who_o be_v in_o the_o ship_n who_o we_o leave_v with_o two_o corpse_n abroad_o and_o the_o scooper_n to_o the_o water_n little_a wind._n within_o a_o hour_n after_o some_o of_o our_o man_n do_v wish_v themselves_o aboard_o again_o to_o be_v out_o of_o the_o misery_n they_o be_v like_a to_o undergo_v the_o bonnet_n which_o we_o have_v be_v as_o long_o as_o the_o boat_n so_o we_o rip_v off_o the_o bolt-rope_n and_o split_v the_o bonnet_n in_o the_o midst_n and_o nail_v the_o one_o half_a on_o the_o one_o side_n of_o the_o boat_n and_o the_o other_o half_a on_o the_o other_o then_o we_o split_v the_o deal-board_n which_o we_o have_v and_o make_v stanching_n to_o keep_v up_o our_o waste_n close_o after_o we_o have_v nail_v on_o the_o bonnet_n on_o the_o boat_n portledge_n we_o have_v make_v it_o two_o foot_n above_o the_o side_n by_o that_o time_n it_o be_v day_n we_o keep_v our_o boat_n head_n all_o night_n against_o the_o sea_n with_o a_o oar_n so_o have_v no_o wind_n we_o slip_v out_o four_o oar_n and_o row_v away_o northwest_o for_o we_o be_v not_o then_o above_o 80_o league_n off_o the_o shore_n thus_o we_o row_v for_o 48_o hour_n be_v very_o calm_a neither_o do_v we_o eat_v or_o drink_v all_o this_o time_n the_o 26_o day_n be_v sunday_n in_o the_o morning_n the_o wind_n come_v at_o northwest_o very_o hard_o so_o we_o make_v a_o dreg_n to_o keep_v the_o boat_n against_o the_o sea_n in_o this_o manner_n we_o lie_v almost_o a_o hour_n time_n until_o the_o sea_n do_v break_v in_o over_o our_o boats-head_n then_o we_o be_v force_v to_o set_v our_o sail_n and_o scud_v away_o before_o the_o wind._n this_o wind_n we_o have_v for_o four_o and_o twenty_o hour_n time_n which_o make_v the_o sea_n very_o lofty_a and_o the_o next_o day_n the_o wind_n veer_v about_o at_o west_n and_o south_n but_o still_o we_o be_v compel_v to_o scud_v before_o it_o and_z as_o night_n come_v on_o it_o do_v begin_v to_o blow_v and_o rain_v very_o hard_o and_o very_o dusky_a and_o dark_a it_o be_v all_o night_n when_o the_o day_n appear_v we_o be_v sail_v to_o the_o southward_n with_o the_o wind_n at_o northwest_n it_o blow_v very_o strong_a this_o make_v we_o consider_v what_o a_o long_a course_n we_o be_v to_o run_v that_o way_n and_o force_v we_o be_v to_o put_v ourselves_o to_o a_o allowance_n which_o god_n know_v be_v very_o little_a three_o cake_n of_o bread_n for_o twelve_o man_n and_o nine_o spoonful_n of_o water_n and_o a_o race_n or_o two_o of_o ginger_n for_o each_o man_n a_o day_n upon_o this_o allowance_n and_o some_o few_o fish_n which_o we_o catch_v and_o eat_v raw_a we_o live_v there_o be_v fish_n continual_o swim_v after_o the_o boat_n for_o near_o three_o hundred_o league_n out_o of_o hope_n no_o doubt_n but_o to_o find_v a_o prey_n of_o which_o they_o be_v so_o greedy_a that_o if_o there_o be_v but_o a_o ropes-end_n hang_v over_o the_o boat_n they_o will_v take_v hold_n of_o it_o to_o catch_v they_o therefore_o we_o take_v a_o speak-nail_n and_o bow_v it_o and_o make_v it_o fast_o to_o a_o stick_n about_o two_o foot_n long_o and_o cover_v the_o nail_n with_o a_o linnen-rag_n which_o they_o will_v greedy_o swallow_v and_o then_o we_o strike_v the_o nail_n into_o they_o and_o so_o hall_v they_o over_o the_o boats-side_n thus_o by_o god_n help_n we_o catch_v six_o dolphin_n and_o one_o dogfish_n at_o several_a time_n when_o we_o have_v they_o aboard_o we_o will_v cut_v off_o their_o head_n and_o save_v the_o blood_n in_o a_o dish_n and_o drink_v it_o nay_o we_o be_v force_v to_o drink_v our_o own_o water_n and_o some_o do_v rather_o choose_v to_o drink_v salt-water_n this_o do_v we_o do_v for_o fifteen_o or_o sixteen_o day_n together_o the_o weather_n be_v so_o hot_a and_o our_o allowance_n of_o water_n be_v so_o small_a that_o every_o man_n have_v it_o in_o a_o dish_n and_o to_o make_v it_o go_v the_o far_o we_o take_v a_o rag_n of_o linen_n cloth_n and_o dip_v in_o the_o water_n and_o therewith_o wash_v and_o gargarize_v our_o mouth_n for_o my_o part_n when_o i_o have_v occasion_n to_o make_v water_n i_o will_v catch_v it_o in_o my_o shoe_n and_o let_v it_o stand_v till_o it_o be_v cold_a and_o then_o drink_v it_o i_o find_v it_o to_o be_v much_o better_a than_o salt-water_n
