Dreamed a good deal about my father and William Rothwell, G. Cunliffe
and John Bolling, so did not rise till half past 7. Found we had been
going all night about 8 knots; the water at seven, 55 degrees, at 9, 65
degrees.
After breakfast the wind gradually lessened, making only about 4 knots;
the sails flapping and the ship rolling all the afternoon; particularly
between 6 and 10, making it very noisy and disagreeable in the state
room; had agreed for Mr. Street to read one of Chalmers's sermons, "On
getting money," but the creaking noise prevented my hearing. Read three
of Cobbett's sermons, "Bribery," "Rights of the Poor" and "Unjust
Judges," also the remainder of Mrs. Trollope's "Description of Niagara."
