Wednesday Afternoon

Our Capatain was in a monstruous dutch passion with me when upon his calling for me at the
Inn at Gravesend he found me writing my last letter to you. I believe I was then going to tell you
how I fared last night. My companion at about ½ past 9 began to prepare himself to take
possession of the bed one on side and asked me if I was not ready to make use of that on the other when
in comes our Captain pulls of his shoes and in he gets into my companion's bed. We stared at him
a little and my companion seemed very much disappointed of at the prospect of such a bedfellow:
he had time however very little time to envy my escape before one of the men came and with as little ceremony took
possession of mine. We now stared at one another neither best pleased but both determined to take it patiently
since we knew pretty well that there were no arguments would induce a dutchman in particular to give up
his bed. In a very few minutes we were each of us invited to take our share at least of the bed which
together with the whole cabbin we had understood was appropriated to our sole use. To be sure I never remember to have seen a hog with
whom which I should not have preferred to the 2 leggd animal who had gave me the invitation. The stink
and the want of room I could have born patiently enough but the idea of the numerous attendants my bedfellow
might have to dispose of
