We raised the cargo hold (aft hatch). We floated 4 bread barrels alongside and put them in the after hatchway, and also bound 3 cloth barrels into water barrels. At noon our estimated compound course and covered distance of the last twenty four hours was ESE 6 ½ miles coming down to the estimated north latitude of 6º30’, longitude 5º50’. We gauged Cape Monte to the NNW at a guessed distance of 1 ½ miles. We were therefore located 50’ or 12 ½ miles further east than yesterday. During the afternoon and dog watches we had light SW airs and good weather. At 6 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 dog watches we dropped anchor at 15 1 fathom = 6 feet (170 cm) fathoms on mud ground before the stream anchor.
