and OF agreeable temperature II
wa, however. quite rough outside
the ship rolled considerably. and
many of the ladies were little sick.
For ten days we sailed along the
coast. occasionally in sight of land.
This part OF the coast is usually
stormy, especially off the mouth Of
the Plata. We are told that the ex-
perienced sea captains of California
will find it difficult to believe that we
sailed from New York to the Straits
of Magellan without storms after
the first night out. This is the fact,
however difficult of belief. For
some time 1 had been engaged in
the study of navigation under the
direction of the good Captain.
Every morning was accustomed to
repair to the front of the ship imme-
diately after breakfas. to take the
altitude of the sun. 1t was amusing
to see the feeling produced by
lady's undertaking so unusual study
l was beset by ali sorts of playful in
quirics respecting our course. One
day found much difficulty in maxi
ing myself comprehended by a sage
masculine, who had great skepticism
as to my success. Gravcly an
nouuced to him the fact that Ihad
become so accomplished that l could
take the altitude Of the sun at sun 'et.
He never. heard Of such thing; he
didn't know the sun had any altitude
at sunset! cit is so much," said |,
holding up my fingers in the form of
cypher. He did not understand.
Finally, was obliged to tell him
that 1 fully comprehended that the
sun had no altitude at sunset.
Along the eastern coast of Patigo-
MIA we saw the famous albatross in
great numbers, and great flocks of
smaller birds. It was very general
custom to 60 upon the hurricane
deck after supper, for promenade.
At this time everyone is gay, and the
deck presents a very picturesque ap-
pearance. If by any pre-occupation
| 1 loose the sunset, l reproach my
self. At late hour, little parlor
plays are engaged in on deck, and
little groups gather for conversation,
while gay party is usually in the
saloon below determined on beguil-
ing the time with music.
On the afternoon of March 1st we
arrived at the Straits of Magellan.
The heavens portended storm.
The captain would not venture with
in the mysterious portal until morn
ing. All night we lowered about,
now nearer, now farther from the
great shoal stretching from the base
Of q promontory fur into the At
lantic. At al early hour on the fol-
lowing morning we turned our prov
westward, and BY the time had is-
sued upon deck, in cloak and hood,
we were fifty miles up the Straits.
As we advanced the wind arose. 1t
continued to blow heavily for several
hours, but as it struck NJ directly
upon the PROV. the good ship moved
steadily IN. indicating the instability
Of the waters only by q slight jar
