 on for day-light, when we ran up and anchored in Cowes road, Ile of Wight.

This voyage occupied twenty-two months, and after doubling Cape Horn, we met only with one Englih and two Spanih hips in the Pacific Ocean; nor did we touch at any known port but Rio Janeiro in going out, and Saint Helena on our return home. It is not the leat of my atisfactions to mention, that except the los of one man by an unforeeen accident, the whole of the crew coniting only of twenty-five men and boys, were preerved during this long, fatiguing, and perilous voyage.

FINIS.
