human nature to receive. Captain Kenney
said he should like to subscribe to send the radicals out of the
country. I thought it would be better to employ the subscriptions in
getting all the democrats away. A dense mist continued on the surface of
the ocean till eleven, when it suddenly disappeared. A ship discovered
by Mr. Grindrod.

I cannot forget that this is the anniversary of the interment of my dear
father. Finished the second volume of Hall's "Journal of a Voyage to
Chili, etc." Learned from Captain Kenney that the journey from London to
Moscow by Hamburgh, Luebeck, St. Petersburgh may be done in a week for
about L34; that there is no difficulty with regard to passports, but
that you must advertise every district visited in the "St. Petersburgh
Gazette," and that you are leaving there in three weeks; you can then
stop that time but no longer in one place. At dinner we had some
interesting discussion on phrenology, and also respecting future
punishment and the different degrees; the latter I was glad to find was
the creed of Mr. G. between whom and Mr. B. the conversation was carried
on. On going on deck I was surprised to find that the Captain did not
approve of such discussions.

SUNDAY, JUNE 1ST.

Passed a very comfortable night; found we had at length crossed the Gulf
Stream; sensibly colder. The wind had not been favourable since last
night. A very considerable mist occasioned by the warm water in the
Stream coming in contact with the cold atmosphere--very cold.

The morning service according to the Church of England read by Mr. H.
but not so many present on account of the cold--again in the evening
with a sermon from Mr. G. from John, 14th chap., 15th verse, "If ye love
me keep my commandments." Captain K. said he did not consider himself a
gambler though he had lost 1, 2, 3 or L400 a night; once at Paris he
lost a good deal. Since then he had made it a rule not to give checks,
but merely stake what he had with him; when he lost the large sums they
were out of his winnings. Talked of some wines that would not do for
sea, port for instance; had several bottles changed because not so
clear. This has been a disagreeable day, cold and a contrary wind; all
the crew seemed to be getting out of spirits. Mr. Jackson said he cost
his father L3000 for the 2-3/4 years he was learning the spinning
business; he admitted he had been very gay.

MONDAY, JUNE 2ND.

A very good night, dreamed of home and my intent
