256 SAN FRANCISCO TO MANILLA. 



The rollers, however, had by this time ceased to break, the sea began 

 to fall, and a few hours afterwards regained its former placid and quiet 

 state. The fog was still dense when we reached deep water where we 

 again dropped anchor; but shortly after the weather cleared up, and 

 we had communication with the Porpoise and Oregon ; they having 

 reached deeper water, had fortunately not experienced any of the 

 rollers.

It now became our melancholy duty to bury poor Allshouse. He had 

 been one of those who had been long attached to the Expedition, and 

 always conducted himself with propriety. 



We afterwards got under way, and stood for the bay of Monterey, 

 into which I sent the Porpoise with despatches for the United States, 

 ordering her to land them, and then make the best of her way to the 

 Sandwich Islands, in case she did not meet the Vincennes. 



The next day being foggy, I bore away in company with the 

 Oregon. 



On the 5th, the weather continuing thick and foggy, with strong 

 breezes from the northward and westward, I made all sail and parted 

 company. 



On the 6th, the full allowance of bread was again served to the 

 crew.
