While the sbip lay at Stockbolm and St. Petersburg, Captain Rogers 

 was in negotiation, on several occasions, for tbe sale of the vessel to 

 tbe Swedisb and Russian governments, but as tbe terms offered were 

 not satisfactory to bim, be concluded to bring tbe Savannah back to 

 America. 



On tbe 27tb and 28tb of September tbe log book records " all bands 

 employed taking in coal " for tbe bomeward journey. 



Tbe sbip sailed ou tbe 29tb for Cronstadt barbor, wbere, after ex- 

 periencing rough weatber, during wbicb sbe lost a bawser and an 

 aucbor, sbe finally, on thelOtb of October, " at 9 a. m. got under way 

 with steam past tbe gard sbip laying off" Cronstadt, then took in tbe 

 wheels and set sail (for Savannah) in company with about eighty sail 

 of shipping." 



VI. — Voyage from St. Petersburg to Savannah. 



The voyage from St. Petersburg to Savannah seems to have been 

 unmarked by any incident of importance. October 17 tbe vessel touched 

 at Copenhagen and the "captain went on shore and cleared the ship." 

 On the 22d the record shows that tbe vessel ''took a pilot on board, 

 who took the ship into anchor in the harbor of Arendale on the coast of 

 Norway." 



The homeward passage was a stormy one ; heavy winds, rougb sea, 

 gales and storms being almost daily noted in the log. 



The engines were not used during any part of the return trip until 

 the 30th of November (tbe fortieth day after leaving Arendale, Nor- 

 way), when Captain Rogers "took on a i>ilot inside the bar," and 

 "At 10 a. m. anchored in the Savannah River and firld sails on the 

 flude tide, got under way with steam and went up and anchored off the 

 town." 



Thus the Savannah safely and triumphantly returned to her home
