209 miles.  Lat. 45 deg. 43’ N.; Long. 55 deg. 10’.

Wednesday, the 28th.—­Sky beautifully clear; but the usual fog came on at ten, and the engines were stopped for soundings:  77 fathoms, white sand.  Cape Race distant 60 miles.

229 miles.  Lat. 44 deg. 44’ N.; Long. 60 deg. 25’.

Thursday, the 29th.—­Wind dead a-head, with a heavy sea.  Only 7 knots; and many passengers in bed.  At four o’clock the wind changed round, the sea smoothed down, and we had the most brilliant sunset I ever saw:  it was past all description!  It gave me a good impression of an American sun.  The Yankees broke out into applause, and welcomed the face of Sol as that of an old and tried friend.  Had a grand state-dinner to-day; and the passengers appeared to do ample justice to the viands.  Passed a pleasant evening.

200 miles.  Lat. 43 deg. 4’ N.; Long. 64 deg. 14’.

We presented Captain Mathews with a memorial, signed by all the passengers, on his first trip as commander, he having been first mate to Capt.  Hoskin in the Great Western ever since she was launched.  He richly deserved a more substantial mark of our regard for his unremitting attentions.

The following was the Bill of Fare:—­
