Sunday, 8.—We were called early by the pilot and told we must rise and go on board.
We did so and found a large number of passengers: but the wind turning, most of them
went on shore. At eleven I preached to those that were left. About six it blew a storm; but
we were anchored in a safe harbor, so it neither hurt nor disturbed us.
Monday, 9.—Finding there was no probability of sailing soon, we went up to Mr. P--- ‘s, near Passage. I preached there in the street about four to most of the inhabitants of the town. They behaved very quietly, but very few seemed either convinced or affected.
Tuesday, 10.—We had another violent storm; it made Mr. P---‘s house rock to and fro, though it was a new, strong house, and covered on all sides with hills, as well as with trees. We afterward heard that several ships were lost on the coast. Only one got into the harbor, but grievously shattered, her rigging torn in pieces, and her mainmast gone by the board.
