The journal of a junior officer with the 'Experimental Squadron' off Newfoundland: the first journal opens dramatically with an account of the rescue of survivors of the wreck of the brig Dispatch, which had been carrying emigrants from Londonderry to Quebec and had been caught on rocks off Cape Ray. More important however are the rare early depictions of views in the Bermuda islands. (3)
