December. 
A VOYAGE TO l North CW 
till midnight, happened on the following day before seven in the 
evening, and then later as before. 
The break of three hours in the tide here, is somewhat remarka- 
ble : it was not observed amongst Wellesley’s Islands, where the tide 
ran twelve hours each way ; but was found to increase as we pro- 
ceeded west and northward until it became six hours, and the tides 
assumed the usual course.
