The unanimous answer was that everything was now ready, and it was therefore decided to weigh anchor on the morning of the 16th, when the weather and wind were suitable, and to turn towards the dear fatherland in the Name of the Almighty. May God Almighty be prayed for the aforementioned. to grant precious vessels a happy, speedy, and safe journey.
