1891.
Sept. 18.  
Liverpool to Queenstown.
  Foggy with occasional clear streaks, the sun shining above
and lifting up the fog. Very little wind. Spent the day run-
ning down the Irish Channel, the whistle blowing and the ship
moving very slowly as we passed through the foggy belts.

  At about 4 P.M. we stopped and sounded. Gun heard in fog
and steamer turned towards sound. Fog cleared and we ran into
Queenstown harbor. Got off at 6.30 P.M. Queenstown harbor
alive with Gulls most ridibendus. A few Kittiwakes, two
Puffinus major (?), two Gray Wagtails seen in mid-channel.
