High water, Oct. 29—2 09 a.m.; 2.31 p.m. A ship signalled off the heads at 9.45 this morning turns out to be the Hydaspes. There can be no doubt that the vessel reported from the Bluff is the Blue Jacket. On turning to Marryatt's code of signals we find how the mistake has occurred. No. 174, first distinguishing pennant, is the Sophie ; 174, third distinguishing pennant, is the Blue Jacket.
