The pasBige of tho J. H. Mastara has occupied 109 days from anchor to anchor, an exceedingly good one considering that bhe had light variables at the outset, very poor nortb-i'aßt trades, and very heavy weather while crossing the great Southern Ocean. She lift New York on November 20, and had light variable winds, which prevented her clearing tho land for three days; thenco she had llshfc westerly winds with modera'e weather, and took up tho firßt of the N.E. trade in latitude 33deg 17min N, longitude 88degl9roirt W.; the trade was light and well to the S.E., and took her down to latitude 4deg N., longitude 30deg 3min W. on December 24; thence she had light winds from S.E. to B.W. up to the Equator, which was crossed in longitude Sldeg 33mln W. on December 27, when the S.E. trade was taken; it proved well to the southward, and compelled her to make seveial tacks baf ore she made the Braz'llan coast. The trade was lost in latitude 19dog 420i1n 8., longitude 31deg 19min W. on January 7, and was followed by E. to N.E. winds with moderate weather up to January 11 In latitude 28deg 17min S., longitude 13 .'eg llmin W, when tho westerly winds were taken, and on January 23 ahe crossed tho meridian of Greenwich in latitude 41deg 25min S.; still keeping moderate westerly winds, bhe rounded the Cape of Good Hope on the 28th •of January In latitude 46deg 4mia S„ and thence across the Southern Ocean met a succession of heavy gales with very heavy aeas and low barometrio»l indication?. On January 41, in latitude 46deg *".. longitude 24deg 14mln K, a heavy S.S.E. gale was encountered, accompanied by fearfully heavy seas, whloh continually broke on board and did considerable damage- the doom of the galley anddeokhouße were stove in, and all the water casks, with two Iron water troks carried away. This weather continued up to Ftbruary 5, the ship being hove-to for abput eight hours, and afterwards brought before the wind; thence the weather moderated a little, but a tremendous sea was encountered, and on February 8 she met another furious gale with high seas, heavy rains, and thick foggy weather. Two d»ys later Bhe met a third gale from W.N W. to W.S.W. with hard squalls of hail and rain and very heavy aeas, whioh continually broke on board. After this the weather moderated a little, and she oroasert the meridian of Cape Leeuwin on Februaiy 20, in latitude 45deg 42mln 8„ still keeping westerly winds. She passed the island of Tasmania on February 28 (100 days out), in latitude 46deg | 57m in S.; and on March 1. in latitude 48deg firain a , longitude 154deg 48min E., had the wiods from N.N.B. to N.W. with thiok rainy weather.
