15 September 1859
15th. A cloudy morning with a little rain. The wind good and in the right course which was kept up all day and at bedtime having increased so much some sails were taken in for safety. Quarreling in the saloon between some passengers and the doctor in which the MD was highly censured for neglecting his patients and the captain taking his part got the worst off it as some cases were proved of parties coming four times for medicine before supplied

29th. A dull morning and inclined to be stormy. The sea appears to run with us though sometimes rather high yet we appear to be making moderate progress. Today heavy sea came over the poop deck and through the ventilators into the saloon and again from the main deck in at the saloon doorway it is said sufficient to float a trunk. We got a little but not so much as the fine folk.
