18 December 1809
On the 18th.. Colonel O'Connell paid us a visit, and told us that they were entirely out of fresh provisions -- we could not offer them any assistance being nearly in the same state ourselves, the weather is calm cloudy & rainy, & we are all very tired of being at Sea, & sorely disappointed in the sanguine expectations we form'd of being at Sydney in three days after making the land. The Hindostan was supplied again this day with spirits & firewood. ----
