THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18TH.

Lay in bed till after seven; as I do not like waiting so long for

breakfast (9 o'clock). Found we had not progressed much; the morning

warm and fine. Sick again. Took a little tea and dry toast with an egg,

and found it more disposed to remain with me. Went on deck and was able

to read a few of Bryant's "Poems." Took for lunch two peaches and three

slices of melon; again saw Mother Carey's chickens. Dined pretty well

upon soup, a slice of mutton, a peach pie, two peaches and three slices

of melon. Read some more B.'s "Poems," and also Cobbett's "Advice to

Young Men." Difference of time between New York and Liverpool 4 hours

and 44 minutes: also 4 dollars and 44 cents making our sovereign of

twenty shillings.
