Have lately observed a Sailor who’s berth is close to our Cabin door constantly reading his Testament – gave him some tracts, and asked him to come in at prayer time, when his duty would permit which he gladly accepted. Friday 19 Feb. AM We have run upwards of 200 Miles the last 24 Hours & expect to see the Cape de Verd Islands Tomorrow Morning Mrs Kemp very poorly weak and low spirited._ Empd. as before Lat 17. 55. 47 Saturday 20_ Feb AM Keeping a sharp look out for the Cape de Verd Islands, but the weather being hazy we could not see them.

Naquay the Sailor mentioned on Thursday came in at prayer time this Evening. Sunday 21st. Feby. AM. Another interesting Sabbath. Service on the quarter deck in the morning, after dinner The Convicts mustered and each had ½ a pint of wine. There appearance improved _ They look clean and healthy, but what is still more pleasing there appears an inclination in some of them to hear the words of Life. Mr. Butler heard several of them read on the forecastle, and talked to them in an affectionate and improvised [?] manner of the things of Jesus. I heard another party read and Saml. Butler instructed the Boys. Observed many Sailors in different parts of the Ship reading their [f] Bibles and Testaments _ Dearest Jesus open their Understanding that they may understand the Scriptures _ In the Evening Mr Butler read prayers and a Sermon in our Cabin and Captain Lamb attended and worshiped with us _ Mrs Kemp still very poorly. Monday 22 Feb. 1819 AM Gentle breezes and very warm weather Teeterree would not come to his lesson Today neither forenoon nor afternoon & I am afraid will give it up altogether. The Lord help me to bear with patience that which grieves me. PM one of the soldiers wives in a dreadful frenzy attempted to run [?] a bayonet into one of the soldiers and much insulted the officers, she was punished by lashing her for a time in the Mizen [?] Rigging and pouring water upon her. Tuesday 23 Feby AM. Light breezes from the NE, very hot weather. Employed with Tooi in the morning & Mr Kemp engaged on the forecastle with the Convicts. Saw many trying fish today. PM. Mr. K & myseld Empd. with Tooi & Endeavouring to get a few words of the New Zealand Language. Wednesday 24 Feby.

Employed with Tooi and also with a few of the convicts and with Mr. Butler in looking into the New Zealand Language._ The weather is Exceeding hot. Lat. 6.50 PM. I was grieved in spirit the beginning of this day, But [?] the Lord hath been pleased that I should rejoice at the close of it for while Mr Kemp and myself were in prayer in the Cabin some one Knocked at the door. It proved to be a convict who’s irons had been knocked off and who assisted the Doctor in the Hospital_ He brought his bible with him and asked me to explain the meaning of the 26 verse of the 10 Chap. Hebrews_ I did so as well as I was able. He seems concerned for his soul – He stopped [?] prayers with us & I asked him to come every evening when his duty would permit. Grant Heavenly Father that he may be thine in the Day Thou maker up thy Jewels _ Another Sailor & a Soldier now frequently come in to prayer, I hope the Lord has many precious souls in this Ship F.
