Passed a good night. About five we seemed quite becalmed, but were glad
to find this not the case, the breeze had continued moderately through
the night. Sensibly warmer and consequently most of the steerage
passengers appeared on deck. Much pleased with a number of porpoises
swimming alongside of us for a mile or two. A good deal of talk with
Captain Kenney about the English nobility, etc., and also with Captain
Sketchley, who said he had been more than 40 years at sea, chiefly
between Liverpool and New York. His family resides in Liverpool on
account of Mrs. S. who could not bear the extremes of the American
climate. Find fresh faces on board, most of them have part of their
family already gone to America.
