stood on this tack for time, when seeing that we
showed no signs OF running off some 10 or Is
miles to speak her she put her helm up and went on her
northerly course again.
In the meantime the other vessel kept close hauled
upon the wind, standing for across our bows. AT

the watch on deck, until he got alongside we were in
hopes to get him on board when he would have met
with hearty reception, utfailing in this intended
to run him down if he came under our lee again.
On Sunday about noon he hauled his jib sheets to

our vessels good full in hopes he would fall little
