The weather was a little better, but the wind was contrary.
We also saw a ship which was sailing northeast. In the evening
we read the ninety-eighth Psalm, the Lord was with us and we were blessed.

Wesley. Jan. 18th, Sunday.
We returned thanks to God for our deliverance, of which a few appeared
duly sensible. But the rest (among whom were most of the sailors)
denied we had been in any danger. I could not have believed
that so little good would have been done by the terror they were in before.
But it cannot be that they should long obey God from fear,
who are deaf to the motives of love.

Nitschmann. Feb. 1st.
The weather was fine, and there was no wind until ten o'clock,
when it came from the right quarter. In addition to our usual allowance
the Captain sent us fresh meat, which he has done thrice already,
and we do not altogether like it, for we are content with what we have,
and do not desire more.
====== 3 Feb. 1736.
Nitschmann. Feb. 3rd.
There was a great storm, which lasted all night.
----
Wesley. Jan. 23rd, Friday.
In the evening another storm began. In the morning it increased,
so that they were forced to let the ship drive.
