June 17th - 26th, 1823. Slow progress but Happy Birthday David

June 17th, 1823 - [Still on the Atlantic heading for New York]. Light airs during forenoon and calm towards even. I was amused by enormous shoals of porpoises surrounding the ship.

June 20th, 1823 - A brig and a sloop in company, which afforded pleasure


June 25th/26th, 1823 - This being my birthday (I completing my twenty-fourth year) and the market day of my native place, I could not help thinking over the days that were gone. Light airs of wind, making little progress.
