selected for it particularly " O come ! let us 

 give thanks unto the Lord, for he is gracious." 



30th. I hear the cry of " land! " They see 

 the land tlje cliffs of Cornwall. I must go on 

 deck to see them; how happy I am to be well 

 and able to look at the first appearance of 

 England. 



I have run down to the cabin to tell you that we 

 are entering a great harbour Falmouth. There 

 are two castles that protect the entrance : on 

 the right is St. Mawes, and on the left Pendennis. 



3lst. At Falmouth ! Yes ; in England at 

 last! We anchored last night in the country 

 which you love so dearly. How glad I shall be 

 to go on shore. 



We are going ; Mrs. P calls me.
