Figured in Mr.Gould's work as Chlamydera nuchalis.) November 22.
The moon being full to-day we noticed that the tides were very strong: particularly the flood-stream, which came in bores, and sometimes swept by the ship at the rate of 6 1/2 knots, while the ebb did not exceed 4 1/2: the greatest rise also to-day was 24 feet.
SINGULAR CHANGE OF WINDS.
November 25.
My journal of this day begins with remarking a very extraordinary change that took place in the winds.

Instead of the usual fresh North-West breeze after ten A.M., there was a moderate one from East-South-East.
This drew round gradually by east to north.

At sunset the weather was very gloomy; but the barometer indicated nothing, ranging as usual.

In the early part of the night the wind was light from North-North-West, changing suddenly at midnight to a fresh breeze from South-East with rain.

When the morning broke, it had veered to East-South-East with squalls from East-North-East and heavy rain.
