Latitude per Log, for we had no Observation, 46 degrees 0 minutes South.
Monday, 26th.

In the P.M.had the wind Whifling all round the Compass, sometimes blowing a fresh Gale, and at other times almost Calm.

At 5 o'Clock it fixed at West-South-West, and soon blow'd so hard as to put us past our Topsails, and to split the foresail all to pieces.

After getting another to the Yard, we continued standing to the Southward under 2 Courses.

At 1 A.M.the wind Moderating, set the Topsails with one Reef out; but soon after day light the Gale increased to a Storm, with heavy Squalls, attended with rain.
