    Wesley。Nov。 23rd�察�Sunday。 

    At   night   I   was   waked   by   the   tossing   of   the   ship�察  �and   roaring   of   the 

wind�察�and plainly showed I was unfit�察�for I was unwilling to die。

     All hands summoned to lift the anchor。Mr。 Oglethorpe called me�察�took 

me   by   the   hand�察  �led   me   into   the   cabin�察  �and   gave   me   1   Pound   for   the 

Brethren。Later the wind was again contrary�察�and we had to lie still。 

      18 Dec。 1735。 

     Nitschmann。Dec。 18th。 

     We lifted the anchor at three o'clock�察�but as we got under sail the wind 

changed   again。We   must   stay   still�察  �but   what   the   Lord   intends   we   do   not 

know。

     Finding nature did not require such frequent supplies as we had been 

accustomed to�察�we agreed to leave off suppers�察�from doing which we have 

hitherto found no inconvenience。

     Nitschmann。Dec。 21st。 

     An east wind sprang up�察�and with the help of God we sailed at nine 

o'clock from Cowes�察�where we had been for five weeks and three days。 

     When   we   reached   the   open   sea   many  became   sea´sick。There   was   so 

much to be done that we could not hold our prayer´meeting�察�for our people 

help in all the work�察�and therefore the sailors treat us well�察�no matter what 

they think of us in their hearts。In the evening our song service was much 

blessed。 

     ��With us went two ships�察�the man´of´war�察�and that which carried Baron 

von Reck and his Salzburgers。Two of the Salzburgers were on shore�察�and 

were   left   behind   when   the   ship   sailed�察  �whereat   their   wives   and   children 

who were on board�察�were sorely grieved。 Dober's Diary。��

this   day   to   the   fourteenth   being   in   the   Bay   of   Biscay�察  �the   sea   was   very 

rough。Mr。 Delamotte and others were more sick than ever�察�Mr。 Ingham a 

little�察  �I   not   at   all。But   the   fourteenth   being   a   calm   day�察  �most   of   the   sick 

were cured at once。

    At   midnight   there   was   a   great   storm�察  �and   the   waves   broke   over   the 

ship�察�the middle hatch was open�察�and the water poured in�察�running into our 

cabin�察�so that we had   to take everything out of them until we could  dry 

them。

     The weather was again pleasant。

what they  call   the Trade   winds�察  �which blow   much   the   same   way  all   the 

year round。The air is balmy�察�soft�察�and sweet。 The ship glides smoothly and

     ��We have been running for several days with the Trade winds。 Here the 

day is two hours longer than it is in Germany at this season。 The sailors 

wished to adhere to their custom of initiating those who crossed the Tropic 

of Cancer for the first time�察�but Gen。 Oglethorpe forbade it。The weak�察�the 

children�察�and the sick�察�are well cared for�察�so that the nine months' old child
