Remarks, Tuesday, Dec. 2nd, 1845. 



a. m. Wind lulled suddenly and 

 shifted round to the Southward, and 

 blew a perfect hurricane, veering gra- 

 dually to the S. Eastward. At 1, run- 

 ning before the wind and sea, the star- 

 board jolly boat's davit broke, the 

 boat hanging only by the port tackle 

 and stopper, cut it a drift as it was 

 beating heavy against the stern. At 

 1-20, the starboard cutter was lifted by 

 the wind and thrown up on the top of 

 the awning stanchions, and its own da- 

 vits, secured it as well as possible.
