Journal

Quitted
London,
Friday,
14th
September
1798.
Arrived
at
Yarmouth
on
Saturday
noon,
and
sailed
on
Sunday
morning
at
eleven
o'clock.
Before
we
heaved
the
anchor
I
was
consigned
to
the
cabin,
which
I
did
not
quit
till
we
were
in
still
water
at
the
mouth
of
the
Elbe,
on
Tuesday
morning
at
ten
o'clock.
I
was
surprised
to
find,
when
I
came
upon
deck,
that
we
could
not
see
the
shores,
though
we
were
in
the
river.
It
was
to
my
eyes
a
still
sea.
But
oh!
the
gentle
breezes
and
the
gentle
motion!...
As
we
advanced
towards
Cuxhaven
the
shores
appeared
low
and
flat,
and
thinly
peopled;
here
and
there
a
farm-house,
cattle
feeding,
hay-stacks,
a
cottage,
a
windmill.
Some
vessels
were
at
anchor
at
Cuxhaven,
an
ugly,
black-looking
place.
Dismissed
a
part
of
our
crew,
and
proceeded
in
the
packet-boat
up
the
river.
