Employ'd unrigging the ship, etc. Sunday, 21st.
In the P.M.orders came down to the Officers of the yard to comply with everything I wanted, but we could not yet get a Wharfe to land our Stores, they being all taken up by shipping. Monday, 22nd.
In the A.M.two ships went from the Wharfes at Coopers Island, when we prepared to go along side one of them. Tuesday, 23rd.
In the P.M.hauled along side one of the Wharfes, in order to take out our stores, etc., after which the Ship is to be deliver'd into the Charge of the proper Officers at Onrust, who will (as I am inform'd) heave her down, and repair her, with their own people, while ours must stand and look on, who, if we were permitted, could do every thing wanting to the Ship ourselves.* (* Here Mr.Corner's copy of the Journal ends abruptly.
