27. OBSERVATIONS OF WIND, WEATHER, AND BAROMETER. 
From the 1st to the 4th of July daily sea breezes prevailed in San Francisco from 
the southwest with clear weather, the barometer ranging from 29.84 to 30.06. 
Leaving i)ort on the latter date, we carried a light southwest wind nearly to Point 
Eeyes, where it hauled to the northward and westward, increasing to a moderate gale 
the following day, with a heavy head sea. 
It moderated after we passed 45° 00' 00" north latitude, and in the Straits of Fuca 
we had a fresh breeze from southwest to southeast. It was fair to clear weather, 
except in the region of Cape Flattery and the Straits of Fuca, where it was partially 
overcast. 
Light to moderate southeast to southwest winds with generally fair weather pre- 
vailed in the inland waters of British Columbia from the 10th to the 13th of July,
