Constantly wet and Bailing. In the afternoon I took the opportunity of examining again my Store of Bread, and I found I had 19 days allowance at my former Rate of issuing 1/24 lb three times a day. I therefore now saw I had every prospect of making my passage in Time and granted an allowance for Supper.
We passed the night miserably wet and cold, and in the morning I heard heavy complaints at our deplorable Situation. The Sea was high and breaking over us. I could only afford the allowance of Bread and Water for Breakfast but for Dinner I gave about an oz of dryed clams to each person which was all that remained. At noon I altered my course to the WNW to keep more from the Sea while it blows so strong.
