" We were all on board early on the morning of July loth, and Mr. Benson, my agent, who had been indefatigable in assisting me in all the preliminary arrangements, came to see us off, and even went on board the tug to give us a clear start. It was blowing a gale as we went out of the harbour, and the tug had quite a lively time; so did we, but the " Carmita " was a splendid sea boat and her crew knew how to handle her. The Lanzarote builders have a reputation for turning out the fastest and han...dsomest schooners afloat, and the " Carmita " did not belie her reputation. But the dirt and discomfort aboard were beyond description. Poor Sabbah, who was a bad sailor at the best of times, THE TOURMALINE EXPEDITION. 153 broke down at once, and lay groaning and moaning piteously in one of the wooden bunks which hned our httle cabin.
