We had a SW wind in the morning, and it dawn we saw an English ships which were usually as long as a ship-of-the-line and were square-rigged on all three masts (full rigged), but were faster and with lighter armament, used for patrolling and escort frigate sailing away from us to the SSE. 5 The length of the watches was measured using an hourglass filled with sand. Each watch consisted of 8 half-hour glasses, marked by bells. glasses into the forenoon watch we raised anchor and set sail while there were still no canoes coming to a fro. In the afternoon there was a SW by SSW moderate and also fresh topgallant sail breeze. With 5 glasses into the dog watches we dropped anchor at 7 ½ 1 fathom = 6 feet (170 cm) fathoms of sand, mud and dirty ground. Because we could not keep the ship from the shore we could not see the AximFort St. Anthony, Ghana fort. Here we found the snow ship of captain Davidt Sijlonimi moored. Throughout the night we had a SW by S topgallant sail breeze till morning.
