"H.M.S. Daring, Dee. 1, 1844.

14,tte stmt' last
over again; but I am able to give you a much
414:r account of the Waterwitch, who showed her
and hung pretty close to our lee quarters.
ttN( the 28th November, tried sailing by the wind, in
sa,il3ll breezes, most of the brigs being under single-reefed
;old double-reefed fore topsails, and occasionally
tolicrlant-sails ; Daring had single-reefed fore and
bla -e„t(,)Psails, and for a short time main top-gallant sail;
1114,-, had it all my own way, I took it in, and, kept
Iviiki; easy sail, winning the race in a canter. 1,1, ater-
