WEDNESDAY 10th
At 12 OClock last night the wind. hauled again to the N .W blowing Strong compelling us to take in Our Togallen Sails. Still we are Making rapid progress directly on our course. At daylight the welcome cry of Sail Ho was heard from aloft. A Vessel baring the appearance of a Brig appeared off our Starboard Beam 10 or 12 miles distant. Two more porpoises were caught this Morning before Breakfast. They are very numerous. ToMorrow we hope to enter the Port of St Francisco. The Thought is cheering indeed. We look forward to the time, with pleasure, when we May Break the Seal of letters from our friends far away. Just before Sundown, a Sail appeared dir.ectly ahead, coming down towards us She proved to be a Bark.
