On the 14th of the Fifth month we went on board the brigantine " Sarah and Mary, " Samuel Gallop, master, for Barbadoes ; and on the 16th we sailed down the bay and put to sea, and I wrote a loving, tender letter to my wife and family > and another to my friends at Burlington. "We had fair winds for about two weeks, after which they were contrary for several days, during which two of our men had a fever, and our vessel proved leaky, though tight in 'smooth water, which was some ' concern to us,... and obliged us to pump every half hour; but the leak being much the same while at sea, we were the more easy about it : I took care of those two people that were sick, who soon recovered. The 3d and 4th days of the Sixth month it was very windy, with lightning, thunder, and rain ; in which rough weather one of our best sailors put his shoulder out of joint, and they brought him to me to see if I could do him any service. I was not forward to meddle ; but the man and the people believing if I would undertake for him, I might help him; I told them that, though I did not understand bone-setting, I would instruct them the best I could; then I ordered him to sit down upon the deck, and to be stripped to the waist, and got a round piece of wood as thick as his arm, and wrapped a piece of cloth about it, that it might 24 278 THE JOURNAL OF not bruise his flesh, and put it under his arm, and ordered two men, one at each end of it, to lift up strongly, and a third man to stretch his arm out, and keep it down withal; which being done, the bone went into its place ; for which I was thankful in my heart to the Almighty.
