In the North Pacific very light winds prevailed,
and no ice was seen ; east of Cape Horn the Wine'

were met with until the ship reached latitude 12 ,
south—a very unusual circumstance. In the North
Atlantic the wind veered from north-east to south:
east. •During the voyage there was a long period
—32 days—of very light weather; on many occa-

an hour. On the 6th of April a boy named Jalne!,
Taylor fell overboard from the ship's channels, and
was drowned.
