April 16 
At Sea. 
Noon observation. Lat. 21"30; Lon. 64" 51; run 223 miles. 
A clear, fine day; the vfind north-east up to 10 
A. M. , afterwards north to north-west, v^ith a long, heavy 
swell from the same direction which caused our small and 
overloaded ship to labor somewhat and drove several of 
the passengers to their state-rooms. 
Although so beautiful, the day dragged wearily, 
at least for me. There were no birds, save three or four 
Wilson’s Petrels following steadily in our W3.ke and I saw 
but one flying fish. Saragossa weed was in sight most of 
the time but there were no great masses of it. The sea 
is still very blue. The north wind has the slightest 
possible tinge of that crisp coolness peculiar to the North, 
Among all my sixteen fellow passengers there is 
but one who is at all interesting — a Mr. Fortune from 
Memphis, Tennessee. He has been in nearly every country 
on the globe and has much to say about India where he 
spent five years.
