Day Twenty Six
Lat. 40° 45' S Long. 156° 2' W Dist. 155 miles
"We set the mainsail at 4.45 am owing to us causing the second mate to be nasty. The second mate and I spent a bad time till 8 am because in his estimation everything I did was wrong. We braced the yards right up at 12md.
I made sennet and listened to the sailmaker's yarns all the afternoon. The cook declared some person had stolen a pot of his water during the night but I do not put much faith in his statement.
We had our sing-song in the dog-watch and no work came. The port watch squared the yards 8 pm - 12mn."
