We have been making about ten knots an hour, and our calculations seem to be very accurate.

Those who had been seasick recovered as soon as the motion of the ship ceased; and when everything aloft and on deck had been made snug, the crew were piped to dinner.
In the afternoon, part of the students were permitted to go on shore; the band played, and several boat-races took place, very much to the delight of the people on shore, as well as those on board.

At six o'clock the ship was opened for the reception of visitors, who came off in large numbers to inspect the vessel.

After dark there was a brilliant display of fireworks, and the Young America blazed with blue-lights and Roman candles, set off by boys on the cross-trees, and at the yard-arms.
