Diary 15.5.1883



Tuesday May 15


Dull morning but I had to wash today, it got up fine. We had a dreadful night with the wind, it blew two topsails down, there was a great noise with the fall.
You will have got over Whitsuntide now, I hope it was fine for you. We were going fourteen knots an hour when the sails came down, they were two of the topsails on the main mast. No log today.
