   |had been cold, and the morning was still keen; but unfortunately there     |
   |was no thermometer in the boat; I suppose, however, that the air was       |
   |about 66º At the time these sights were taken, I observed a vessel bearing |
   |N by W, the lower half of whose sail was inverted.                         |

 56|Wind NW. Parts of the horizon observed NW and SE.  During these            |
   |observations,(53, 54, 55, 56) the vessels near the land had more or less   |
   |an inverted image under them.                                              |
