From the Demeter ship's log

28 July

Four days in hell, knocking about in a sort of maelstrom, and the wind a tempest. No sleep for any one. Men all worn out. Hardly know how to set a watch, since no one fit to go on. Second mate volunteered to steer and watch, and let men snatch a few hours sleep.

Wind abating, seas still terrific, but feel them less, as ship is steadier.
