berth.

Sunday August 16th 1857

I have kept my berth all day I need the
Chloroform which set me asleep 2 or 3 hours
but did not cure my sickness I believe that
nothing but time will do that Capts
Tedlie & Hallowes got up & went to breakfast
they have both been in India before. Shortly
after first the one & then the other came
tumbling into the cabin. I thought they
were drunk they complained that they were
very seedy(underlined) not sick(underlined) only a little bile however
I saw very well what was up although they
would not confess it they both turned in &
kept bed most of the day. There was no
service on board to day I supposed was
owing to so many being sick they could
scarcely have got up a respectable meeting.
Capt Tedlie seems a very melancholy sort
of man but it may be partly owing to
the misfortune he has had since he
came on board he first lost his

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.
