The ship took ten days to reach the Cape of Good Hope; 

 the only interesting feature of the voyage was the appearance of 

 the various southern Oceanic birds which constantly were to be 

 seen flying at the stern. The great albatross or Cape sheep, 

 the Mollymauk, which however was not seen far from land ; 

 the Giant-petrel (Ossifraga gigantea), the Cape hen {Procellaria 

 cequinocticdis), the Cape pigeon (Daption capensis), a Prion and 

 a Stormy-petrel.
