First mate’s logbook

In the morning and forenoon we had a light NE breeze and good weather. An English a sailing vessel with three or more masts; with a square rigged foremast and fore-and-aft rigged main, mizzen and any other masts barquentine arrived here. We dried the sails. In the afternoon there were SW light airs and good weather. We got 2 canoes of water and 3 canoes of firewood on board. All the barrels were full of water and the holds full with firewood. We made storage spaces besides the main mast and stowed them full of firewood. We scoured the outside of the ship under water. We had the same weather in the evening and night and good weather till morning.
