On Monday, the 30th of August, our captain ordered that we all had to stay on board as punishment. In the afternoon at 4 o’clock of this same day, we once again sailed off and at 6 o’clock stopped at the mouth of Manila bay, where the steamboat was stocked for the new journey over the water. We were allowed to sleep outside at night, on the decks, where we had a restful sleep.
