We returned to the ship about 163-- hours. It was forced to anchor 
about a mile and 3/4 off shore, but the see was celrn < nd we had no roblens. 
After supper we set out for Pearl and Hermes, but the weather conditions

of the weather in this area, and the need for caution in planning 
operations. Heavy s os were breaking over the < ow, running amidships, 
and out over the fantall. I'm afraid that our trunk from Loysen, 
which is still on the quarterdeck, will have its contents thoroughly 
soaked.
