Abridged Report from the Log of the Barque Easttrain from Mr. 



Mate Bitot GL B. Young. 

 At daylight on the 13th May, 1852, we weighed from Cowcolly Roads 

 with a N. E, wind and fine weather, and proceeded down Lloyd's Channel ; 

 at 8 a. m. wind veering to E. "N. E. anchored by Saugor Flat Buoy, with 

 it bearing E. S. E. \ a mile, thinking it prudent to take up this position 

 to ride out Easterly winds ; made all preparations, having occasional puffs 

 of wind ; during the day veered to 50 fms. Wirds E. N. E., Bar. 29.70. 

 Friday IWi. — At 4 a. m. blowing fresh from JST. E. and very squally 

 appearance, Barometer 29.60 ; Noon Barometer 29.40. Breeze still in- 

 creasing in heavy squalls, let go the starboard anchor and veered out 

 20 fms. cable, we then got the third anchor over the bows and bent 45 

 fms. of spare cable to it.
