 marked S. W. b. W. blowing very hard ; Bar. falling to 29.50, lying 

 to under storm staysails, head to the S., midnight blowing excessively 

 hard. 



2Jth November.— a. m. Sea increasing ; at noon Lat. 6° 26' S., Long. 

 87° 10', Bar. 29.50. Ther. 80°, p. m. Bar. 29.40, heavy gale (appa- 

 rently from N. W*. or W. N. W.*) continues till midnight. 



28th November. — a. m. wind drawing to N. W. (ship coming up 

 to W. S. W.) Noon more moderate, Lat. 7° 7' S. Long. 87° 24' E., 

 Bar. 29.50, Ther. 80°. p. m. wind marked N. N. W. gale continuing; 

 very irregular sea. At 8 p. m. wind had veered to N. E., ship running 

 S. W. b S. and S. W. 98 miles from 11 a.m. to midnight when strong 

 gale. 



29^ November. — a. m. Increasing to a hurricane about N.E. ; 

 noon Bar. 29.00, Ther. 79°> Sympiesometer 28.9, ship on her beam 

 ends. Lat. 8° 47', Long. 86° 20'. p. m. Hurricane between North and 

 East, head to N. N. W., Bar. broke ; oil disappeared in the Simp. 

 At midnight ship buried in the sea and half swamped. 



30th November — a. m. Cut away the top masts which relieved her 

 a little ; boats blown into the rigging and over the poop, at 4 blowing 

 a hurricane still between North and East. 



1st December. — To noon still blowing a heavy gale ; Sympiesometer 

 28.4. at noon, oil having re-appeared ; at 5 a. m. set a storm stay- 

 sail, moderating to midnight. 



2c? December — To noon moderating, wind not marked, Lat. obs. 

 14° 5' Long. 79° 29'; 7 p- m. wind marked N. E. At midnight fine. 



* Nothing is marked in the Log, but it is clear that the wind must have been to 

 the Northward of West, at least since midnight, by the Lat. for lying to under 

 storm staysail, with a gale from S. W. b W. the ship must have been making nor- 

 thing at least from noon to nearly midnight, when if we suppose the gale to have 

 drawn to the Northward of West she may in the 12 hours to noon of the 27th 

 have drifted back and made the most part of the 41 miles of Lat. which appear 

 on the log to noon of the 28th ; for it was only one hour before that time that she 

 bore up.
