MONDAY, MAY 5TH.

A pretty good night, but did not rise till ten as I felt sickly. Managed

to shave without a glass. Sickly all day and unable to take exercise.

Sat in the upper house with a quantity of flannel around my feet; urged

by the Captain to take a little chicken broth, did so and to my great

surprise found some relish. I also partook of a little chicken; sick

several times; descended about 7; again sick, got a cup of tea, took two

of the pills. Found my feet very cold, rubbed them warm. Sipped of the

currant tea and felt very comfortable.

Morning dawn, crowing of cocks, 7-1/2 bell rung round the cabin. 8

breakfast; coffee, tea, beefsteak, mutton-chops, etc. 12 lunch; shins of

beef, tongue, etc. 3 dinner; soup, fish, fowls, beef, mutton, pies,

puddings, dessert, oranges, nuts, French plums. 7 tea.
