Every Friday we observed as a real Fast: and every evening we had family-prayer with the sailors, but could not prevail to have prayer in the morning. The sailors excused themselves by saying they had not time. On each Lord's day I read prayers on deck, and one of us preached. The Boatswain, we have no doubt, was under genuine conviction long before we arrived at Barbadoes; and on a mature and minute examination before we landed, we have great reason to hope that two more were awakened.
