 12 fathoms of water and paid out about three -fourths of cable. It broke about 80 fathoms from the end, and we were carried by the surf fathoms, when We let go another anchor with the same result, and we were carried by the surf over the reef closer to the shore into AZ fathoms, where we let fall the best bower and paid out threefourths of a cable. By this time we had 49 of the crew on the sick hist. On Novem- Der 6 we lowered the longboat and moored the ship, but only after great difficulty since we were so shorthanded. After this week, with the help of those men who although with some effort, were still able to be on their feet, we did our best to transport the sick ashore and to put up for them tents made out of sails. When these were up we took the sick Captain Commander ashore on November 8.
