Excerpt from Smallest Ship That Ever Crossed the Atlantic Ocean, Vol. 35: Log of the Ship-Rigged Ingersoll Metallic Life-Boat, "Red, White and Blue," Across the Atlantic Ocean and English Channel This day expended one can mutton soup; and one can of beef for the dog, as she must not be forgot; she takes it out in sleeping. Friday, 13th. - From 12 to 4 A. M., strong breezes and clear sky, with a heavy sea heaving; but the ship rides it well, shipping small quantities of water. By the looks of the water we are in the gulf stream. 4 to 8 fresh gales and clear, heavy sea running. At 8, called the watch and furled fore and main top gallant sails and royals, shipping some water, but doing very well. 8 to meridian, fresh gales from westward, clear blue sky, heavy sea heaving, ship taking in some water and running very well, bet ter than I expected, considering, when she is in the hollow of the sea, the sails are almost becalmed. Not able to cook any thing this morning. For these twelve hours one mile is allowed per hour east for heave of the sea.
