 in the Soyah in Lat. 21° 54/ N. ; Long. 89° 02' East, by Tassin's 

 Map. 



Friday 14th May, 1852. 



Strong Easterly winds and cloudy. 



Steam up, weighed, and proceeded full power. 



Ditto winds with passing showers of rain. 



Passed steamer Chunar, at anchor in the Fringhee 

 Khali. 



Entered Attarah Banka river. 



Increasing breezes and passing squalls from E. S. E. 



Eoymungul river. 



Bearry Khali ; observed every appearance of a gale 

 from the Eastward, ran well up the Soyah for 

 safe anchorage. Owing to the weather having a 

 threatening appearance, Captain Cawley orders 

 an Officer's watch to be kept. 

 28.80 . . 7.15 Anchored for the night in 4 fathoms with 70 fms. 



on the best Bower and 50 on the small ; blew off 

 steam and kept fires low, the river apparently 

 well sheltered and very smooth water. 

 28.62 . . 8 p. m. Gale increasing. Got the steam up and worked 



ahead full power. 

 28.45 .. 10.00 Gale still increasing, observed the vessel driving 

 with engines working full power and both anchors 

 ahead. 

 27.80 . . Midgt. Vessel driving, gave her a little more chain, unable 

 to give her much for fear of the wynch breaking. 

 Midnight blowing a hurricane from 8. S. E. the 

 large cog-wheel of the wynch carried away— 

 both chains parted and vessel took the bank. 

 Sea making a clean breach over her, and crew 

 employed baling water out of the vessel, the 

 Flat Matabangah parted from beam lashings, and 

 both banks being inundated, the hurricane blew 

 the vessel about half a mile on the bauk, blowing 

 away sails and topmasts, rigging, bamboos, 

 boats, oars, &c.
