Nitschmann. Dec. 21st.
An east wind sprang up, and with the help of God we sailed at nine o'clock
from Cowes, 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,
for our people help in all the work, and therefore the sailors treat us well,
no matter what they think of us in their hearts. In the evening
our song service was much blessed.
(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.
