the __ stomach. A fine wind
this morning, which takes us about
forty six hours right out to sea
in SE direction _ All the passengers
but three or four pretty tolerable
Qualmish _ Several had to clear
out from the table at breakfast _
I among the rest to lose my
second meal and it of good
old Mush and New Milk -
Dinner hour four to five o clock
but declined taking much but
some Corn'd beef and bread
and after a while topped off
with Strawberries and pineapple
_ This Sea breeze is a
wonderful Strengthener _ I
have not eaten much but
feel stronger by a good percent
than when ^{1 came} on board _ My
pulse 50 to 55 calm & quiet &
to my Marvel all my old
fears about the dangers of the
Gulph below us and its various
and rapacious inhabitants
have so far left me that
on this account I am a stranger
to the feeling. Poor Rachel [Law ^d]
