W., and off White Kocks we could not keep the ship’s bfad on, so hove-to under close-reefed mainsail, with peak down, and shipped some heavy seas, one of which took me over the side, hut, with the mate’s assistance, I got on board again. The seas also filled the engine-

room, washing up the stoke-hole plates. kept her before the wind, and anchored at Castle Point on ‘Wednesday at noon, and the wind- moderating, left again at 3.30 p.m. The wind came round to north when off White Rocks, and increased to a heavy gale.
