RETURN TO SYDNEY. 75 



Bay by 8 a.m.^ but the weather being* thick with 

 rain^ and the land doubtful^ being seen only in 

 occasional g'limpses^ it was judg-ed prudent to haul 

 off. standino* in ao^ain during' a clearinof. At leno-th 

 the lig-hthouse was disting-uished^ when we bore up^ 

 and in little more than an hour reached our former 

 anchorage in Farm Cove.
