On Friday afternoon, the Commodore went on board
the Mississippi transferring his broad pennant 70 that
ship for few hours while he made exploring trip
stnl further up the Bay. After going ten miles in the
direction Of Yedo, the Mississippi put about in twenty
fahoms water and returned to her former anchorage
having reached was supposed point within eight
miles Of the capital On the western shore the large
towns of Kanagawa and kowazach were seem while
the extremity of cape in front not more than four
miles distant stood tell white tower, resembling
lighthouse. Three or four miles beyond and within
this point was a crowd of shipping which was without
doubt the anchorage of Snagawa the southern suburb
of Yedo There every probability that the Misss-
sipp could have advanced to point within cannon shot
Of the city The head of the Bay rounded to the east
ward and in that direction the shores became low and
fat, and finally disappeared below the horizon We
have therefore, advanced twenty miles further up the
Bay OF Yedo than any vessels before u.s. and shown
cusvey that instead of being shallow and unnavgable
has formerly been supposed it contains abundance
of water and excellent harbors. IL s in fact one OF
the largest and finest Bays in the world and second to
none in the varied and delightful scenery ofits shores
Early on Saturday morning moved from our first
anchorage to another, five or six miles further down
the Bay and much nearer to the shore. There was
abundance of water everywhere, and all around the
beautiful little island line dropped close to the shore

than mile distant, appeared wonderfully green and
beautiful 1t curved inward, so as to form charm
ing sheltered bay the head of which the two vii
lagos of Otsu and Torgasah lay embosomed in foliage
There was small battery almost masked by trees on
the summit of the island, and another on the point of
the Cape below u.s. This part of the Bay is completely
andoeked the prOmOntOry of Urfga projecting so Tar
as to cover onethrd Of the eastern shore The survey
ing boats were occupied during the whole of the day,
without any interference the part of the Japanese,
who seemed 70 have made up their minds TO submit TO
these unusual proceedings Too much credit, however,
cannot be awarded to the different officers and espe-
eialy to Lieut. Bent for the GOODNESS and courage with
which they prosecuted their work When we consider
that this one Of the greatest Bays in the world has
never yet been surveyed the interest and value of their
labors will be better understood.
DEPARTURE OF THE EXPEDITION FROM JAPAN.
Yezairnon came again on Saturday morning, accom-
gained by both the Interpreters. This time they
brought number of presents as souvenirs Of our visit

them were too valuable TO be accepted. They were

they could conceal about their persons. They were
positively informed that we would accept of nothing
