The following particulars of the voyage are extracted from the ship's logbook : — Left the Tail of the Bank on the Bth of February, and took her departure with a light aoutherly breeze from Tory Light on the 9th at 10 p.m. ; experienced light variable winds, moderate N.E. trades, and crossed the equator on the 9th of March. The S. E. trades, which were irregular, were got in 7 deg. S., and lost in 21 deg. S. ; after which light favorable winds were met with, and the meridian of the Cape of Good Hope was passed on the 9th of April. The easting was run down between the parallels of 47 and 48 deg. S., and moderate westerly winds were met with. r l he Snares were sighted on the 7th at 6 a.m., and Otago Heads were made on the Bth at 5 a.m., and at 2 p.m., when about eighteen miles from the Heads, the steam tug Geelong came alongside and towed the ship to the outer anchorage at 6 p.m. , where the ship remained for the night, and was this morning towed to a convenient discharging berth. This fine ship has come into port in fine order, having been newly coppered and received a thorough overhaul and refit whilst at Glasgow.
