[[Pages 190 - 206 appear to be Hall's log showing positions, weather and events occuring on the voyage back to the United States.  Many are nearly impossible to read let alone transcribe, especially this page 190 nearly undecipherable.  The top 1/4 of the page is in pencil and  has been crossed out with three large X's and appear to be an exercise in Chonometer comparisons in three columns.]]

Transcription Notes:
[[Pages 190 - 206 appear to be Hall's log showing positions, weather and events occuring on the voyage back to the United States. Many are nearly impossible to read let alone transcribe, especially this page 190 nearly undecipherable.]] I have taken some liberty with the underlining and strikethrough rules to make the transcription more readable. Numbers in the calculations have been aligned on my end so that the mathematics can be more closely followed.
