The page was headed ‘Journal of the Proceedings of his Majesty’s ship — , Captain — , Commander, between the — and the—’ He filled in ‘Dido’ and his own name, and the dates. There were nine columns, each with its own heading, which went from the date to ‘Winds’, ‘Courses’, ‘Miles’, the latitude the ship was in and the amount of longitude made, bearing and distances at noon (they were too far out to sea to give either) and the last column, which was headed ‘Remarkable Observations and Accidents’....
He looked at the pencilled note that Southwick had given him and started filling in the columns. The wind had been north-east, the courses had been south and south-south-west, they had covered 120 miles since noon the previous day, the present latitude was 25° 7’ North, they had stayed in the same longitude, and in the last column he wrote: ‘Weather unsettled and sighted several waterspouts. Fore topgallant badly chafed, sent down and replaced. Exercised ship’s company at great guns.’ And that, he thought as he wiped the quill and put the cap on the ink, was all there was to say for a day in which the Dido had ploughed on just approaching the Tropics with a wind that was fitful and a sky heavy with thunderstorms.
