field diary 1832 deciphering problems

[JanSeifert]

Hi,
this is my first entry and already a problem to solve. I work on an edition of a personal diary from 1832 and since I am a bloody German I face of course some problems. The entire diary is - of course – handwritten, partly under adverse conditions on the way.
The first problem involves a verb I cannot fathom; the text goes:
»
accordingly got under weight once
more. The Heir Apparent [??]
us yesterday leaving the palace in
great state – and accompanied by
700 soldiers. Our coolies were
«

What could be the missing verb after Heir Apparent? Any Ideas?

Thank you!

Hi Jan,

Welcome to Rootschat!

Fisherman has already solved your query but I wanted to add something.

You wrote:

It actually says got under weigh, which should really be got underway, i.e. we set off.

Just a little tiny thing, aber Ordnung muss sein. ;-)

Best regards,

And rightfully you made me aware! The British did not get under weight. They had porters
My bad. I will try to be more german in the future.
