        the Cabin.32 This looks rather om-
        inous. The Capt[ain] ordered the
        Steward to make fast my traps
        as I was sick [and] could not do
5      It myself. By the bye I took
        one smoke yesterday, w[hic]h will
        be my last, and today I took
        about half a glass of raw whiskey
        which did me no good so I'll take
10    no more.
        Wednesday 20th Ireland was
        In view when I retired to rest
        last night but today nothing
        is seen save the sky and the
15    water. So we are fairly “at
        sea.” I vomited Bile again be-
        fore Breakfast, and afterwards
        lay all day on one of the Cabin
        sofas. Sharpley is sick yet, but
20    Mr. Cunningham has not been
        sick and I think will not
        the whole voyage. Cunningham
        was a regular attender in Dr. Robson's
        church
