No exclamation, or other sign of grief, however, escaped her for what had happened.
May 1789.

At sunset, on the evening of the 2d instant, the arrival the 'Sirius', Captain Hunter, from the Cape of Good Hope, was proclaimed, and diffused universal joy and congratulation.

The day of famine was at least procrastinated by the supply of flour and salt provisions she brought us.
The 'Sirius' had made her passage to the Cape of Good Hope, by the route of Cape Horn, in exactly thirteen weeks.

Her highest latitude was 57 degrees 10 minutes south, where the weather proved intolerably cold.

Ice, in great quantity, was seen for many days; and in the middle of December (which is correspondent to the middle of June, in our hemisphere), water froze in open casks upon deck, in the moderate latitude of 44 degrees.
They were very kindly treated by the Dutch governor, and amply supplied by the merchants at the Cape, where they remained seven weeks.
