At the eighth hour in the evening we noticed considerable grccn-look- 

 ing vegetation afloat, which we thought was grass, and therefore we 

 brought to in order to take soundings. No bottom at 100 fathoms. 



Examined the vegetation and learned that it was not (sea) grass but a 

 species found in thick water resembling a sea nettle which is washed ashore 

 in large quantities.
