At every watch , when we came below , before turning-in , the bread barge and beef kid were overhauled . To make our condition still worse , the wind came out due east , just after sundown , and it blew a gale dead ahead , with hail and sleet , and a thick fog , so that we could not see half the length of the ship . On the day appointed for the wedding , we took the captain ashore in the gig , and had orders to come for him at night , with leave to go up to the house and see the fandango . The curse of a people calling themselves Christian , seems to follow them everywhere ; and even here , in this obscure place , lay two young islanders , whom I had left strong , active young men , in the vigor of health , wasting away under a disease , which they would never have known but for their intercourse with Christianized Mexico and people from Christian America . In a few minutes , the force of the wind and the rising of the tide backed us into the stream , and we were on our way to our old anchoring-place , the tide setting swiftly up , and the ship barely manageable , in the light breeze . I hardly expected , when I left him to go to windward , to find him alive upon my return . Unfortunately , our books were where we could not get at them , and we were turning about for something to do , when one man recollected a book he had left in the galley . Once or twice , when our bullocks failed and we were obliged to make a meal upon dry bread and water , it seemed like feeding upon shavings . They had just got to sleep toward morning , when they were turned up with the rest , and kept at work all day in the water , carrying hides , their heads aching so that they could hardly stand .
