cleared from this port on the third Of
June Capt. Gilmore and seventeen
others left the fleet when out about q
thousand miles on the long journey,
thirty-three days out, and still over two
thousand miles from st. Michael.

it unsafe to proceed further in vessels
built for river service and which could
not stand the tremendous strain of the
swells and waves of the open sea with
out constant danger of disaster. The
command of the Victoria was turned
over to -- formerly mate on the

on the Victoria when she left here.
