One is foolish enough sometimes almost to feel a momentary resentment again'st inanimate nature — weak mortals that we are !
The gale has drifted us so far to leeward that the wind from its present quarter will ' no longer permit us to "lay through" the Yucatan passage, so at 2 p.m. we tacked to the southward and eastward. Weather still thick in the afternoon, with light rain at intervals. We had a very ugly sea lashing us this morning — the ship rolling so heavily as to awaken me frequently, t...hough I sleep in a swinging cot; and the water swashing over the decks, and rushing by bucketsful down the companion-way, which we are obliged to keep open to avoid being smothered.
Friday, December I9th. — The gale continues with the tenacity of a norther, this being the third day. This is but a foretaste of the weather we may expect in the Gulf of Mexico. Being now in the Gulf of Honduras, there is but a small strip of land between us and it.
Saturday, December 20th. — As ugly a day as one often sees, _suth a great variety of wind and weather.
