Tuesday June 19
A very rough night the main sail was blown into ribbons by 7 o’clock, we had to go along without main sail until this morning which made the ship to roll a good deal, the sea was washing the deck most of the night so you may think we did not get much sleep. Land in sight this morning on the weather bow, there is a very large rock very plain called Pedria Elanie off the coast of Tasmania, in the afternoon the mainland was visible, it is very pleasant to see land again. We hope to arrive at Bundaberg in about 8 days now, distance today 246 miles. Lat. 43S Long. 145.35E
