June 18. A fair steady breeze at last, which determines us not to stop at Oran, though I should much have liked to have seen it ; for we have already lost so much time by calms. N. B. Turtle soup an unmitigated failure, an impossi bility ! The cook is only saved from being anathematized by our remembering that it is not the West-Indian spe cies that he had to deal with a fact which we might have known before ; but, alas ! gastronomic desires too often cloud the reasoning powers, sometimes even ...on board a yacht ! At noon, lat. 36 31 N. , long. 35 E. June 19. At noon, lat. 36 7 N. , long. 2 32 W. June 20. At noon, lat. 36 38 N. , long. 3 45 W. June 21. To-day we are again becalmed; small puffs of air come and make us hopeful, and then leave us; we are within sight of Malaga, but cannot reach it; we can beat everything in the shape of a ship that has come across us, and can almost go ahead in a calm, but not quite; so Malaga is still beautiful in the horizon.
