(With us went two ships, the man-of-war, and that which carried Baron von Reck and his Salzburgers. Two of the Salzburgers were on shore, and were left behind when the ship sailed, whereat their wives and children who were on board, were sorely grieved.—Dober’s Diary.)

Wesley. Dec. 10th, Wednesday.
We sailed from Cowes, and in the afternoon passed the Needles. From this day to the fourteenth being in the Bay of Biscay, the sea was very rough. Mr. Delamotte and others were more sick than ever; Mr. Ingham a little; I not at all. But the fourteenth being a calm day, most of the sick were cured at once.

Nitschmann. Dec. 22nd.
The wind was east, and we sailed nine miles an hour, but were all very sea-sick.

Wesley. Dec. 12th.
(In the forenoon we left the man-of-war, he not being able to sail as fast as our ships.—Ingham’s Journal.)
