AFTERNOON d SuAdlA CdDie hp anu -
order to ease the vessel for the stock
I went to the westward, the Tobey at
the same time standing to the south,
I crossed her course astern of her. and
that was the last I saw of either Of
the other three vessels during the
voyage.
The run by days was as follows:
/ The first day out IS miles; the second
IS; the third 245, then rs, 1876. 163, 14s,
$50, ia, $50, 17o. $50, 124, 9o-that was
last Sunday when we were in
sight of Hawaii all day-14S, and 50
miles to go. / anchored at $3.50 o'clock
at night between the bell buoy and
the outer buoy in seven fathoms of
water, something that was never done
before. I understand that I was re-
ported aground But twas perfectly
safe where you have a vessel that you
can handle.
when we had strong winds they
were almost hurricanes. My second
mate was overheard once He did not
| touch the water but he Was forty feet
away from the vessel. He was at the
/ mizzen rigging setting the sheet of
the mizzen topsaiL The vessel gave a
lurch and threw him off the vessel
| He had hold of rope with one hand,
and he hung on. His hand was just
| at the end of the rope so that he could
not catch the rope with the other
hand below and he was swung out 50
quickly that he could not reach up
with the other hand above the one
he had hold Of the rope with. He
swung out fully forty feet, but as the
vessel righted itself he swung back
and was on deck once more
