THE VOYAGE OF THE HURON AND THE HUNTRESS 



the Stonington fleet; Captains Barnard and Bruno, of the New York fleet; a 

 Captain Withem, schooner Governor Brooks of Salem; and Messrs. William 

 A. Fanning, Fox and Smith (the latter from the Huntress) with ten men, 

 pitched in to get the Huron's anchors up and the ship warped and moored 

 again in a safe place. After six hours the arduous task, was completed. 

 Captain Davis ended his entry for the day, thus : 



**. . . hope to see our Schooner soon as she has had Bad weather." 



Two days later, January 22, the Cecilia arrived. Such were the vagaries of 

 South Shetland weather that a flat calm fell as Captain Burdick headed up 

 Yankee Sound and he was forced to get a whaleboat out ahead to tow the 

 shallop into the harbor.
