Nitschmann. Feb. 6th.
(The oldest sailors say they have never seen so fierce a storm
as the one we had last night. The wind came from all sides at once,
lifted the water from the sea, bore it through the air
and cast it on the other ship, where Baron von Reck and the Salzburgers were,
and so flooded it that twelve persons were kept at the pumps all night.
-- Dober's Diary.)

Wesley. Jan. 26th.
We enjoyed the calm. I can conceive no difference comparable to that
between a smooth and a rough sea, except that which is between
a mind calmed by the love of God, and one torn up by the storms
of earthly passion.

Nitschmann. Feb. 8th.
(There was a calm, and very fine weather, so that a boat could be lowered
to visit the other ship. -- Dober's Diary.)

Wesley. Jan. 28th.
(Being a calm day, I went on board the other ship, read prayers,
and visited the people. At my return I acquainted Mr. Oglethorpe
with their state, and he sent them such things as they needed.
-- Ingham's Journal.)
====== 9 Feb. 1736.
Nitschmann. Feb. 9th.
(The wind was again favorable to us, but there was much lightning.
