Moderate south-west gales were experienced in the English Channel, which somewhat delayed the vessel. Teneriffe was passed at midnight on February 20, and Capo Verde in the afternoon of February 24. Light southerly winds were experienced'until crossing the equator, after which fresh south-east trades wore met with, which also'hindered the vessel's progress.

From the meridian of Cape Leenwin, strong westerly gales and high following seas were encountered until passing the South Cape of Tasmania on April 2.
