MONDAY, JUNE 18.
Commenced with light, variable breezes and
hazy weather. Ship steamed steadily on her
course, with the paddles making eight to eight and
a half revolutions and the screw about 28. At 2
a.m. sighted St. Agnes light, and at 7 passed to
the southward of Bishop's Rock. As we rounded
the Scilly Islands we met the long westerly awell
of the Atlantic Ocean. The great ship acknow-
ledgedits power by behaving very much in the same
way as another would have done under similar cir-
cumstances—that is to say, that she rolled very dis-
tinctly. The motion, though similar in kind, s much
less in degree and much slower than in a smaller
vessel. Observations at noon showed that we were
in latitude 49 deg. 27 min. north, and longitude
7 deg. 54 min. west. Distance run from the Needles
300 knots. The engineer's log showed that the
paddle engines had made on an average eight and
a half revolutions, and the screw 28 revolutions ;
average pressure of steam 151 b., with a consump-
tion of coals since getting under way of 250 tons.
No more striking illustration of the economy of
the principle involved in the construction of the
Great Eastern can be given than by a moment's
comparison of her day's work with that of the
crack ship of the Cunard line—the Persia. This
vessel, which is about one-fifth the tonnage of her
gigantic rival, burns on an average 170 or 180 tons
of coal a day. Her average performance wider
steam alone would not exceed this first day's run of

A long westerly swell this morning caused the
ship to roll more than she has ever done yet.
Weather thick and foggy, putting one in mind of
the banks of Newfoundland. Towards noon cleared
up sufficiently to get the usual observations, which
determinded our position to be latitude 46 deg. 16
min. north, longitude 30 deg. 3 min. west_ Dis-
tance run 304 miles. Sandy Hook bore 79 deg. 45
min. west, distant 1,960 miles. Got sail on the
ship about 5 p.m., but the wind soon hauled so much
ahead that they were useless, and before midnight
were taken in. People were not quite so sanguine
to-day about making the shortest passage to the
westward. They thought it might be extended to
ten days, and those who had been most frequently
across even contemplated the possibility of its being
eleven days before we saw New York.
FRIDAY, JUNE 22.
We have not been fortunate as respects wind. It
has prevailed from the westward ever since start-
ing, sometimes veering sufficiently to induce the
officer of the watch to make sail, but then hauling
ahead so as to render the canvas of little service.
The experience of the effect of the sails on the ship's
way up to the present seems to indicate that with a
good breeze they will add one knot an hour to her
speed, besides easing the engines. During the mid-
dle watch fresh breeze from the north-west; at 4
a.m. shifted to the south-west and blew freshly,
with rain squalls; at 7.30 a.m. wind hauled again
to the north-west ; in all sail ; at noon moderate
breezes and cloudy ; heavy swell from south-south-
west. Latitude, by observation, 44 deg. 50 min. N.;
longitude, 36 deg. 14 min. west. Distance run. 970
miles. Sandy Hook bore south 81 deg. 30 min.
west ; distant 1,684 miles. Average revolutions of
the paddles, 10; of the screw 36, with 20 pounds
of steam. Consumption of coal, 266 tons. At 1
p.m. passed a British barque bound west, and ex-
changed colours with her. At 3 p.m. wind hauled to
north-north-west, set forestaysail and trysails. At 6
p.m. veered back to the westward, in all sail. Heavy
leaden-coloured clouds to the west, with increasing
breeze. At 8 p.m. cloudy, with moderate breeze.
SATURDAY, JUNE 23.
Commenced with cloudy weather, and light wind
from the north-west. At 8 a.m. shifted to southward
and eastward, but too light to be serviceable. _tik,t,
