Experienced strong gales and heavy head sea throughout the day —the ship making scarcely any way against it and shipping seas A 15.30 p.m. fetched in under Table Cape, and anchored, finding it impossible to get round Portland Island, or make any way Against the violent wind and sea. At C a.m. on the 16th weighed anchor, and made an attempt to get round Portland Island, but found the sea too heavy for the ship to make any head-way—at time 3 she would not steer; so C'>ptain "Worsp was compelled to put back and again anchor under Table Cape.
