About ten o'clock
The captain of the brig gave me dry clothes , and in a few hours I was very comfortably asleep , hoping to join my ship the next day ; but in this I was disappointed . The breeze was favourable and fresh ; but we were clear of the Sound , but a long way astern of the convoy , and none of the headmost men-of-war to be seen . I dressed and went on deck , and immediately perceived that I had little chance of joining my ship until we arrived at Carlscrona , which proved to be the case . About ten o'clock , the wind died away , and we had from that time such baffling light winds , that it was six days before we dropped our anchor , every vessel of the convoy having arrived before us . As soon as the sails were furled , I thanked the master of the vessel for his kindness , and requested the boat . He ordered it to be manned , saying , `` How glad your captain will be to see you ! '' I doubted that .
