THE VOYAGE OF H.M.S. CHALLENGER. 



On the 17th, at daylight, the whole of the land in the vicinity of Port Philip was 

 distinctly visible. A high saddle peak was noticed north of Geelong, no mention of which 

 is made in the sailing directions ; probably it is not often seen , for the atmosphere was 

 remarkably clear ; the ship passed the Narrows at 8 a.m., and was moored in Hobson's 

 Bay at 2 p.m.
