Altho wearing is now become highly dangerous I could not but risk it at 2 O'Clock, as I found I encreased my Northing too much on the Tack I was then on. We had no sooner accomplished this, but were obliged to lye too under the Close Reefd Main Topsail and Mizen Staysail, and the Gale continued with great violence untill 4 in the Morning, and blew fresh the remainder of the Day with cold Rain.
We cleaned and dryed below towards Noon and the rest of the People were employed in serviceing the Chafed Parts of the Rigging.
