In the evening righted the Ship, having only time to patch up some of the worst places to prevent the water getting in in large quantitys for the present.

In the morning hove her down again, and most of the Carpenters and Caulkers in the Yard (which are not a few) were set to work upon her Bottom, and at the same time a number of Slaves were employ'd bailing the water out of the Hold.
Our people, altho' they attend, were seldom called upon; indeed, by this time we were so weakned by sickness that we could not muster above 20 Men and Officers that were able to do duty, so little should we have been able to have hove her down and repair'd her ourselves, as I at one time thought us capable of.
Saturday, 10th.

In the P.M.we were obliged to righten the ship before night, by reason of her making water in her upper works faster than we could free; it made it necessary to have her weather works inside and out caulked, which before was thought unnecessary.
Sunday, 11th.

In the A.M., having caulked her upper works, hove out the Larboard side again, which a number of Workmen were employ'd repairing.
Monday, 12th.

In the P.M.finished the Larboard side, and in the A.M.
began to get ready to heave out the other.
Tuesday, 13th.
