17th May, and sailed from Plymouth on the 19th. Fine weather was encountered

and wintry weather was soon encountered, bringing with it a good deal of snow
and sleet. Off the Island of Kerguelen’s on the 19th June the barometer fell to 27.89,

with terrible squalls and very heavy sea. Hobart was reached on Monday, 2nd
