Note.—­Many were the preparations to be made before starting on our voyage; the crew had to be selected, we had to decide whether all, any, or none of the children should be taken, what friends we should invite to accompany us, what stores and provisions we should take, and to select from our little fleet of boats those which seemed best suited for the various requirements of the voyage.  The whole number comprised

     The ‘Gleam,’ lifeboat cutter;
     The ‘Glance,’ large gig;
     The ‘Ray,’ light gig;
     The ‘Trap’ (to catch a sunbeam), steam launch;
     The ‘Mote,’ dingy;
     The ‘Flash,’ light outrigger.

Of these the ‘Trap’ and the ‘Ray’ had to be left behind.
