rom the sea, bore it through the air and cast it on the other
ship, where Baron von Reck and the Salzburgers were, and so flooded it
that twelve persons were kept at the pumps all night.--Dober's Diary.)

We enjoyed the calm. I can conceive no difference comparable to that
between a smooth and a rough sea, except that which is between a mind
calmed by the love of God, and one torn up by the storms of earthly
passion.

Nitschmann. Feb. 8th.

(There was a calm, and very fine weather, so that a boat could be
lowered to visit the other ship.--Dober's Diary.)

Wesley. Jan. 28th.

(Being a calm day, I went on board the other ship, read prayers, and
visited the people. At my return I acquainted Mr. Oglethorpe with their
state, and he sent them such things as they needed.--Ingham's Journal.)

Nitschmann. Feb. 9th.

(The wind was again favorable to us, but there was much
lightning.--Dober's Diary.)

Wesley. Jan. 29th.

About seven in the evening we fell in with the skirts of a hurricane.
The rain as well as the wind was extremely violent. The sky was so dark
in a moment, that the sailors could not so much as see the ropes, or

Nitschmann. Feb. 10th.

The whole day was stormy, and all night the waves broke over the ship.

Wesley. Jan. 30th.

We had another storm, which did us no other harm than splitting the
foresail. Our bed being wet, I laid me down on the floor and slept sound

Nitschmann. Feb. 12th.

(We were obliged to drift, because we did not know how far we were from
land. About noon we sighted three ships, sailed toward them, and saw
they were English; our sailors lowered the boat, we wrote in haste, and
sent letters to Herrnhut. The ships came from Charlestown, and told us
we were thirty hours' run from Georgia.--Dober's Diary.)

Wesley. Feb. 1st, Sunday.

(Three sails appearing, we made up toward them, and got what letters we
could write, in hopes some of them might be bound for England. One of
them, that was bound for London, made towards us, and we put our letters
on board her.--Ingham's Journal.)

Nitschmann. Feb. 13th.

To-day we had another storm, and twice saw the ocean not
