about an hour in hand & had a
look at some papers. I saw the
death of PJ Gregory in the home news.
We also got from him a Belfast
Whig & L'pool Mercury, & a basket
of onions: by the time we left we
had a good long pull back to
the ship. We devoured the old
news when we got on board very greedily.
Long 85° East.

Tuesday June 22nd 1858.

We crossed the line during last
night. the wind is still keeping
light & we have not as yet got
the SW monsoon. See by the papers
there has been fierce difference between
England & France & that Duc de
Malakoff was to be French repre
sentative in England. Fighting
still going on in India & a good
deal of desease among the troops
offer of peerage to Sir Colin &
non acceptance.

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.
