Comp: can supply it at the rates which they charge
for passage, but I believe they have everything duty
free which accounts at any rate for the liberal
supply of wine. When I went on deck again I
found that we had cleared the Needles & were
gradually losing sight of the white cliffs of
England. Farewell to old England then when
will I again behold your lovely shores. I remained
on deck till 8 oclock every one here are strangers
to me. there are 6 or 8 officers of the 34th the
regiment that was in the Castle before I left
on board. their faces are familiar as I used
to see them often marching to the park. At 8 oclock
there was tea. About 9 I turned into my berth
I have got a very good berth the Cabin is
occupied by three of us. Capt. Tedlie of
the 50th Royal rifles Capt Hallowes of the
Irish Fusiliers & myself. It is a very nice
little Cabin well fitted up. We have a
Servant or steward to wait on us appointed
by the ship, the others also engaged him

Transcription Conventions

Spelling: Maintain original spelling (including u/v, i/j, and ff). Long "s" should be replaced with a regular "s". Terminal long "i" characters are transcribed as "i" not "j".
Hyphenation: Preserve hyphens (including "=" characters) at the ends of lines.
Capitalization: Maintain original
Punctuation: Add modern periods, but don't add punctuation like commas and apostrophes.
Deletions: Deleted characters and words are tagged with "strike" and then displayed with the line through them.
Symbols: For apothecary and alchemical symbols, use these symbols followed by the meaning of the symbol in brackets: Rx [recipe]; ℈ [scruple]; ʒ [dram]; ʒs [half dram]; ℥ [ounce]; ℥s [half ounce]; ℔ [pound].
For roman numerals following symbols that indicate amount, i.e., j=1, ij=2, iij= 3, v=5, type arabic numeral in brackets following roman numeral: i [1], ii [2], iii [3], v [5].
Line Breaks: Hit return once after each line ends. Two returns indicate a new paragraph, which is usually indentation following the preceding sentence in the original. The times at the end of each entry should get their own paragraph, since the software does not support indentation in the transcriptions.
Illegible text: Indicate illegible readings in single square brackets: [Dr?]
A single newline indicates a line-break in the original document, and will not appear as a break in the text in some views or exports. Two newlines indicate a paragraph, and will appear as a paragraph break in all views.
