; the glass is falling ; it is thick of rain, and the sea is getting up. We have therefore taken in the mainsail, and got snug again under the trysail and third jib. The sun has not shown him- self, and so we have no observation to-day, but the dead-reck- oning puts us about two thirds across the Bay, and well out. The little ship is too much on the jump to permit of any triumphs of cookery being achieved, and our dinner has been a scratch affair of cold beef and sardines, washed down by a bott...le of champagne.
