1, North River, New York, to take the Bay State, Captain Jewett, for Fall River — But I did it and had time to spare — I only had a few days to spend with my betrothed, and then back to the ship I went and on the sixth of May we left New York for San Francisco with light winds from the southwest. In latitude 82° north, longitude 51° 34' west we passed the Brig Emblem of Halifax, water-logged and abandoned, mainmast gone a few feet above the deck, foremast and fore-topmast and bowsprit and jib-b...oom standing. It had evidently been abandoned for some time and we did not stop as there was nothing to be gained. We crossed the line twenty-eight days from New York. It was no fault of the ship, but of the weather, that the passage was so much longer than my two previous voyages, for the ship was all I could wish for, and much faster than any ship I had ever sailed in, and a splendid sea boat in heavy weather. On the sixth of June we passed the Island of Fernando Noronha off the coast of Brazil, a Portuguese convict settlement in 5° south latitude.
