The gale lasted all this day, blowing in heavy squalls, accompanied with rain.

The brig took in a good deal of water through her seams, and one of the pumps was kept continually going, Augustus being forced to take his turn.

Just at twilight a large ship passed close by us, without having been discovered until within hail.

The ship was supposed to be the one for which the mutineers were on the lookout.

The mate hailed her, but the reply was drowned in the roaring of the gale.
At eleven, a sea was shipped amidships, which tore away a great portion of the larboard bulwarks, and did some other slight damage.
