This afternoon our dear Lachlan had a very dreadful fall from off one of the Bird Cages -- and got jammed under the Long Boat, by which his Forehead was cut and severely bruised. --- L.M.

Our Latd. today at Noon was 23. ° 43' South, and Longd. 34. ° 58' West -- We had now a fair wind -- but very light.

At 4 p.m. we crossed the Tropic of Capricorn -- and have now every reason to hope of falling in Hourly with the regular South East Trade Wind -- peculiar to this Latitude. --
