APPENDIX. 
The winds at Mazatlan generally blow fresh from the N. W. in the evening ; the sea- 
breeze springs up about ten in the forenoon, and lasts until two o’clock in the morning. 
It is high water at this place at 9 h. 50 m., full and change ; rise seven feet spring tide. 
These are all the directions which I think it necessary to give in this place, as the ports 
of Coquimbo and Valparaiso, at which the Blossom touched, are so easy of access, and so 
well known, as to require none ; and Port Clarence and Kotzebue Sound, near Beering’s 
Strait, so little likely to be frequented, and so free from danger, that it would be extending 
the limits of this work unnecessarily to add any thing on the subject. Besides, the charts of 
those places which have been published since our return contain all that a vessel can require 
for her guidance.
