The next day, Sunday, the 11th, a hard gale sprung up from the N.W.; took in all fore-and-aft canvas and ran under squaresails at the rate of 10 knots au honr. During the afternoon the wind fell light, and at 4 p.m. again set fail, Cape Palliser bearing N. i E. 30 miles. In the course of the night the wind freshened up from the N.W., and at 4 a.m. on the 12th, was blowing a gale from that quarter, with heavy squalls. Shortened sail, aud at 8 a.m. was under lower topsail, fore-trysail, and jib, with a heavy sea running.

Had to cut away everything to save the vessel; lay-to under elose-reefed mizzen, it being the only sail that could be set. Got up steam immediately in case of leakage. At 9 p.m. the wind shifted to the S.W., with rain, the weather being thick and dirty all aight. Steamed for the laud, and at 6 a.m. on the 13th sighted Cape Turnagain.
