In the forenoon the weather calmed and we took in 3 canoes from MarchallLiberiaJunk river but failed to trade. After 4 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 had run out in the afternoon we had a gentle breeze W by WSW, raised anchor and set sail. With 7 glasses into the dog watches we dropped anchor at 17 ½ 1 fathom = 6 feet (170 cm) fathoms on stiff ground. We guess the river of Junk River to be roughly ahead of us.
