The _Spray_ put her hull down astern in five hours.

At 6:45 P.M.I was in close under Chebucto Head light, near Halifax harbor.

I set my flag and squared away, taking my departure from George's Island before dark to sail east of Sable Island.

There are many beacon lights along the coast.

Sambro, the Rock of Lamentations, carries a noble light, which, however, the liner _Atlantic_, on the night of her terrible disaster, did not see.
