March 13, 1820

March 13, 1820 - The heat is more oppressive in passing the Equatorial regions than it was in the Atlantic.  We have had the sun more nearly vertical for a greater number of days.  Yesterday the mercury stood at 84° belowdeck, and at 124° in the sun.

Today another shark has been caught with a hook, and a second this evening seized and held for some time but at length escaped.  So the quickened sinner sometimes breakes away at the moment when he seem to be fastened by the truth and almost drawn into the kingdom of Christ.
