224 Pleasant- have had a fair wind the last 24 hours, and all sail set- altho not made but 254 miles, the last 24 hours- the Capt finding it so pleasant today, called a meeting of the passengers, to see if they, were willing he should now stand direct for New York- there being so many Western Men, on board, and as they all, wanted too go to New York, they carried the Day, the Capt no doubt told them a good story, as he did not, want to go into Charleston, and made them think it would be fair weather all the rest of the way unclear, he also stated before the meeting- that he had been below and examined the Coal-bins and found he had coal enough to last him into N York, /provided, he had as fair wind, as now, and pleasant weather, all the way,/ he also stated he had 2 barrels, of hardbread and 1 barrel of salt beef, and some beans on board, and if we were willing to put up with this- he thought he could possibly reach New York- as said before, this satisfied the Western Men, Green ones- and so he steered for New York direct- the Southerners, as well as some of the others were awfull mad, to think the Capt would run such risks, and threatened to prosecute him, on their arrival at N York, for such treatment on board, the want of provisions- Water, etc however' he was bound to go, and go he did, or at least' started for it-
