Hermsdorf visits Baron von Reck.

====== 14 Nov. 1735.

Nitschmann. Nov. 14th.

We lay at anchor at Cowes on the Isle of Wight, and some of us landed. I
went with Baron von Reck to Newport, one mile distant, it is a beautiful
place. I conversed with Baron von Reck about the Lord's Prayer.

====== 18 Nov. 1735.

Nitschmann. Nov. 18th.

A great storm. To me the time is precious, and passes too swiftly. It
is as though we were in the midst of wild beasts, which are bound and
cannot harm us. We know the Saviour stands by us, and strengthens us
through the Holy Ghost.

One older and two young Englishmen were whipped for stealing.

====== 21 Nov. 1735.

Nitschmann. Nov. 21st.

Conversed with Mr. Oglethorpe about our ordination, Baron von Reck
acting as interpreter. He was well pleased when I explained our view,
and that we did not think a Bishop must be a great lord as among the
Catholics. He offered to give us anything we wished, but I told him we
needed nothing.

The Man-of-war ('Hawk', Capt. Gascoine) joined us. A boy was beaten, and
sent away from the ship.

Nitschmann. Nov. 25th.

Spoke with Mr. Oglethorpe about Boehner and George Neisser, who are sick
and must go ashore for treatment. Boehner has a sore arm, and Neisser
a sore foot. An English friend gave us a guinea to buy some things we
need.

====== 29 Nov. 1735.

Nitschmann. Nov. 29th.

In the evening I prayed for a good wind, since we do not wish to lie in
one place and be of no use.

====== 1 Dec. 1735.

Nitschmann. Dec. 1st.

The wind was good, we thanked God and sailed about eight o'clock. Not
long after the wind fell, and we anchored, but I could not believe that
we were not to go. The wind rose again, and we sailed nine miles.

Wesley. Nov. 20th.

We fell down Yarmouth road, but the next day were forced back to Cowes.
During our stay here there were several storms, in one of which two
ships in Yarmouth roads were lost.

The continuance of the contrary winds gave my brother an opportunity of
complying with the desire of the minister of Cowes, and preaching there
three or four times.

Nitschmann. Dec. 2nd.

About two o'clock we returned to Cowes.
