WINDJAMMER’S ADVENTUROUS VOYAGE.—The Swedish four-masted barque C. B. Pedersen had an adventurous voyage from Australia to England recently. Setting out to round Cape Horn, she encountered a hurricane which so damaged her that she had to turn tail, run up the South American coast and reach the Atlantic by way of Panama Canal—a mere 4,000 miles or so out of her course. The C. B. Pedersen, which is a training-ship, made a very good passage despite this unprecedented deviation, sailing from Geelong to Queenstown, in Ireland, in 94 days’ actual sailing time. Photograph shows apprentices aloft furling sails.
