CHAPTER 1
99/112

At 2 p.m.the Ship tended to the Wind, which cleared the Anchor.

Hove it up and run higher up the Bay and Anchored in 15 fathoms, a little below the Isle or Church of Bon Voyage; found the cable very much rubbed several fathoms from the Anchor.
Wednesday, 7th.

First and latter part a Genteel breeze at South-East and East; the Middle, Calm.

At 5 a.m.weighed and tow'd out of the Bay; at 8 Discharged the Pilot and his Boat.

A breeze of Wind Springing up Easterly made Sail out to Sea, and sent a boat to one of the Islands laying before the Bay to cut Brooms, a thing we was not permitted to do while we lay in the Harbour; the Guard Boat which had constantly attended all the time we lay in the Bay and Harbour did not leave us until the Pilot was discharged.
