First mate’s logbook

Good weather throughout the day. The boat with water came back on board and we sent it back to the shore with goods. We got a canoe with water on board and assembled 2 water barrels. We found out that 3½ anchors had emptied in the hole because the tatters had snapped. One of these anchors was branded KA and another A:VD:P and the third VOC. The half anchors was branded KA. Later at night we had good weather, and we bought a male slave. It remained this way until the morning.
