Rose soon after seven; the ship rolling more, so that I had difficulty
in shaving. Found that we had been going about ten knots since five, and
about eight during the night. After breakfast, we shipped a sea which
sprinkled one whilst reading below. Finished the "Vicar of Wakefield."
One of the sails tore down. At one P.M. observed a brig going westerly;
the wind heavy and the canvas gradually taken in, till we had only a
part of two sails of 1st and 2nd mast; fine waves that broke most
beautifully curiously coloured, called "Dear little Kangaroos."
