Sunday, October 6th

Light but cool breeze from South. Service, but only the Morning Prayer without Communion Service or sermon. page 42The Communion Service, at which the Sacrament was administered, was performed in the cuddy. The day very pleasant but the consciousness that the wind is taking us too far to the eastward is annoying us. Lat. 3.26 N. Forgot to observe yesterday upon the most gorgeous spectacle the sea presented at night. The phosphoric light covered the sea, upon which the ship as it moved cast up golden billows. The scene is indescribably glorious.
