25. There was not I beleive a man in the ship but gave his utmost aid to getting up the Anchor, so compleatly tird was every one of the unwholesome air of this place, we had buried here 8 people, in general however the Crew was in rather better health than they had been a fortnight before.

While we were at work, a man was missd, who it was supposd did not intend to stay ashore, so a boat was sent after him, & which before its return delayd us so long that we lost intirely the sea breeze, & were obligd to come too again, a few cables lenghs only from where we lay before

26. Weighd & having very faint land breeze got no farther than to the Island of Edam
