We passed the Banks during the night. More sick today, including one of my room-mates. Saw several ships during the day. Our bill of fare is very good. The day passed as usual. June 3, Sunday. It was windy and more were sick. Services in the first cabin in the morning, and in our cabin at night. Beer drinking as usual. June 4, The roughest day yet. Two of my room-mates sick in their berths. Gambling and drinking going on as usual. One man lost his return ticket. I went to bed early at night. Johnson, one of my room-mates, was very drunk and would not let me sleep. He tried hard to make me drink, and I had quite a tussle with him, so I dressed and went on deck, where I stayed until after 12 o'clock. When I returned to my stateroom, Johnson was still dressed, but asleep, and I had no more trouble with him. I disposed of the whiskey which he had left. I poured the miserable stuff from the bottle while he was lying drunk. June 5, Johnson is sober today, and no doubt ashamed of his conduct.
