The Winds continue very unfavorable [sic] -- and we are often annoyed with Calms; the Winds blowing from every Quarter but the right one, and not the least appearance of the regular Trade Wind tho here we ought to have fallen in with it. -- The weather is excessively hot; the Thermometer in the shade being as high as 82 Degrees.

This morning early a small square rigged vessel passed us at the distance of about a mile, shewing Portuguese Colours, and steering South East. We did not think it worth while to speak her. ---
