The Journal of Edward Ward 1850-51

Monday, November 25th

Monday, November 25th

Fresh breeze with some good pitching, causing to some of the ladies a return of seasickness. Got up from the hold (where they had fallen through an airhole) a book and a prayer book of Hamilton's. Mountfort consults me on family jars. I prescribe a strong dose by way of covenant. Andy and Hamilton all day at work on the model house, which has progressed to the wall plate of the front. Lat. 48.52, Long. 104.22. 208 miles run. Captain's average per day to bring us in in ninety-eight days reduced to 151 miles; mine for ninety-five reduced to 178. Margaret and Willy both in spirits caused by a prospect of 'the wee house'.
