52 CRUISE OF THE STEAMER CORWIN. 



otluTs to ars^ui'. simply statiiii;'. ''>' ^^''ly <'f tfstininny. tliat to me the womaii soemed sincere, as 

 she was most certainly unctjnscidus ilui-ini;- the greater [lurtiuii. if not all. of the seance. 



On tlu^ "^(ith of Augnst the Vonriii was reported oil' Cajie Blossom, and we immediately 

 broke cami) and steamed out to join her. 



The s(^a was smooth, and we cro.ssed the bar safely and ri'aclied Cape Blossom about noon: 

 but the Conriii had not stopped, and we were comjjelled to camp again and await her return, 

 which 1 conlideutly ho[)ed woidd be; next day. She had doulttless run in, and seeing nothing 

 of us had proceeded to C-hamisso Island for a harbor during the night. 



This supposition provecl correct, for nt^.xt morning at (i.-'SO she was o})served steaming in 

 tiiward Cape Blossom from tlie south, and at 8.30 we broke our last camp, and the sea Tieing 

 smooth we soon were all safely on board of the Coricin once more, I immediately made a 

 short report of my explorations to Captain Healy; and so ended the second expedition for the 

 explorat ion of the Kowak River, conducted nnder the direction of the Reveiiue Marine Service. 



KesiJectfully submitted.
