curious spiral fashion. Once well overhead the
wind changed to the west blowing the clouds over

Hill from London. The hrst-named encountered
the severest weather. At the beginning OF her
voyage she had strong westerly winds, and q
high rolling sea- and worked heavily, taking much
water deck After two days OF moderate
weather, she met a hurricane and high sea from
the northeast Her decks kept continually
under water. and she labored heavily. She was
unable to keep TO her course. and was driven 100
miles to the south.
The Norge caught In the hurricane on Sem

foresails damaged.
The Britannia had rough passage and was
much delayed by head gales but missed the worst
part OF the storm.
