Extract from the Log Book of the Brig Ajax, Captain Shaw,
. from Norfolk, Virginia, which place she left Feb. 23, 1826.
On the sth March, they met with squally weather, which con-
tinued until the 12th, when at 4 Adv. lat. 44. 48. N. lon. 45.
. - W they Avere completely jammed in by ice, the weather being
• thick and blowing hard. On the first alarm, many small luMps
were discovered alongside, but being before the wind, and
the weather being very dark, they could not. -see far, but
immediately put the helm a-lee, shortened sail, and laid'
too at day-light, they were surrounded; with ice,' and saw'
• about thirty large bodies of ice, apparently from 100 to 150 feet
high above the surface of the water, besides a large number of
smeller lumps floating in every direction ;' the brig chafed very
much, but an opening of the ice was diseaVered to leeward, where
• they had ran in before the wind ; it, however, 'was impossible to
get back that way, every means was tried but without success.—
, At 10 A. wt. they thought it dangerous to lay too, as in alt pro- •
bability. they, might he thrown on some loose ice and founder, they
concluded; therefore, to force the brig to leeward, which was ae-
. complished, and they succeeded in getting out. On the Pith they
Were again beset with ice, but by means of a quantity of rigging and
junk at the bows, beside ll a great deal of cardwood round the
stern, and some spars alongside, they managed to preserve the
brig in a great measure from injury by the ice; being under double
reefed topsails and foresail, she was forced through at the rate of
half a mile an hour, although some pieces of ice were as long as the
brig ; at 6'p. m., it blew a heavy gale froth W.N.W.,. and the

topsail, which was hove to the mast for the purpose of keeping the
brig from running a-head. In consequence of the brig rolling
lee • channels upon two large pieces of ice, they were com-
pelled to sling two round hales of cotton under the chains;
she struck very herd on the ice several- times -duiing the
day,
:and in some places the oakum was chafed (oho hare;
at 9 p. in., the vessel drifted faster, and at daylight she
was quite clear of ice, although in sight of a great number
of-Ice Islands. They then made sail, and steered eastward, and
found the cut-water and gripe on the stern damaged ; the
bows and sides were also much chafed, and the vessel making a
great deal of water. On the 22d they experienced a heavy
gale of wind, which increased so much, that they were
obliged to lay the vessel to, which laboured and leaked
greatly. The brig finally arrived in the Downs on the 11th April,
where she experienced a most tremendous gale, in which she lost
an anchor and cable ; they however succeeded in bringing her up
with the second anchor. in eight fathoms of water.
