While the storm raged the Dart only travelled 13 miles in seven days on the voyage across, and in fine weather one 01 the crew fell overboard, and a lad sprang in after him with a life-buoy. Both were rescued. Off the Australian coast the Dart ex perienced a terrific gale, and lost another of her boats. In this storm five of her crew were injured, and some of her sails were blown away.
