She is on her first passage to the colonies, and although she made rather a long one for so smart a ship as she looks to be, it is easily accounted for by the fact of her experiencing great difficulty in getting to the southward, and went down close to the African coast before she could manage .to do so, being down in lat. 4deg S., long. sdeg W.
