Rose soon after seven, having passed the night pretty well, excepting
dreaming a good deal about travelling. Found the wind still favourable
but more north; going about eight knots. Passed a brig this morning.
Commenced reading Hamilton's[33] "Men and Manners in America"; would be
very cold but for the sunshine. A good wind all day; sail reduced
towards evening in expectation of a gale, but it went off.
