The wind came to the south east during the night, in such a manner as to make the ship roll a good deal, and the passengers very uncomfortable. I was not an133 exception, though not positively disabled. Attended services in the Cabin, when the surgeon of the ship read the Episcopal Church service, in presence of the seamen who came in nicely dressed and very well behaved. Not more than a dozen passengers attended, the ladies being all shut up. I tried to read a little of Lord Carlisle’s book about the East, but with little effect. We made good progress, but towards night as we approached the Grand Bank, a thick fog set in and cold.
