273 out of the harbor without any trouble- run out alongside of the squadron fleet to report ourselves- and then passed on- and happy were we to get away from this place.- Wednesday April 26h- Pleasant, but some cooler today, with wind ahead- our course today a little North of West.- at 12 M- we are in Lat 17-28-North- Long 101-57- West- or 127 miles from Acapulco- so cool today, changed my thin clothes.- the men that were hurt yesterday /in the Row,/ are doing well.- We have not very pleasant, or accommodating officers on board this Boat, they are in trouble, most of the time.- A fighting Capt- and a fighting Crew.- the Capt Hudson, is not in the least calculated for a Capt of a vessel intended for passengers,- but, just right for a Slaver,/ I should say,- and his officers too- they cannot one of them speak to the crew- without first- giving them a blow.- this state of affairs, makes it rather unpleasant- on board, for the passengers- a continual jawing & fighting going on most of the time, between the officers & crew,- however' so long as they donot interfere with the passengers, think we can get along little while longer
