crossed the line in la west on May &c, and
on nearing the Australian land the weather
was exceptionally bad. and during q four
days gale off Cane Howe, the raft was
hove-to under storm sails The gale al
luded to was run into very sud-
denly, for the vessel was uader all
plain sail when the sudden fall of the
barometer gave notice of bad weather. and
before the small sails could be fur.ed the
craft was under close-reefed topsails, and
making bad weather at that Alfalong the

ued, and on heading up for Backstairs pas
