Sept. 22.  
  A wild day with violent squalls and alternating cloud and
sunshine, the sea very rough, the ship rolling and pitching
heavily at times but on the whole but on the whole behaving re-
markably well.

  At about noon, and hence in nearly the latitude and longi-
tude given above, I saw a small black Petrel, probably Oceanites
oceanica, and two large birds, Puffinus major or Fulmarus, the
latter a mile or more off. Wyman saw some other birds also, one
of which he thinks was a "Mother Cary". No fish were reported
and no steamer seen.

  At the height of one of the squalls the crests were blown
off the waves and the sun tinged each wreath of spray with
prismatic colors producing a beautiful effect [deleted]on[/deleted] the ocean, as far
as the eye could reach, being studded with fragments of rainbows.
