South Atlantic squadron, reports to the Navy
Department that his flagship Lancaster arrived
at Funchal, Madeira, on the evening of No
vember 2lst, after an extremely unpleasant pas
sage of thirty days from Hampton Roads. The

Lancaster was to remain at Funchal until the
26th of November, when she would proceed to
the coast of Brazil.
