sail was blown into ribbons, and we
could not set the sails. We drifted eor
55 hours under bare poles. The seas
made a clean breach over the vessel and
smashed five dories. We lost part of
the bulwarks, the curry pens, log and
line, and the vessel was badly iced up.
We drifted down to lat. 35: so in the
Gulf Stream before we could get the ice
off the vessel SO as to handle her. Since
then we had heavy west and northwest
gales. We have seen no vessels since
