1832 Feb 26th For the first time in my life I saw the sun at noon to the North: yesterday it was very near over our heads therefore of course we are a little to the South of it. I am constantly surprised at not finding the heat more intense than it is; when at sea with a gentle breeze blowing one does not even wish for colder weather. I am sure I have frequently been more oppressed by a hot summers day in England. 27th Quietly sailing, tomorrow we shall reach Bahia. 28th About 9 oclock we were

1832 March 18th We got under weigh early in morning Cruised about the harbor untill the charts were finished. Against a strong tide we slowly stood out of the bay of All Saints took a lasting farewell of Bahia: if I have already seen enough of the Tropics to be allowed to judge, my report would be most favourable; nothing can be more delightful than the climate, in beauty the sky landscape are unparalleled in a colder zone. 19th The next morning from the light winds strong current we were yet

1832 June 4th after arriving at Bahia, Musters two days after that. They were both for a long time insensible or nearly so. They were both buried in the English burial ground at Bahia; where in the lonely spot are also two other midshipmen. The other five of the party were all slightly attacked; none of them for more than a day or two. Macacu has been latterly especially notorious for fevers: how mysterious how terrible is their power. It is remarkable that in almost every case, the fever

I have heard of interesting geological facts am disabled from examining them; but instead of grumbling I must think myself lucky in having at all seen the glorious city of Bahia. We have had some festivities on board; the day before yesterday there was a grand dinner on the quarter deck. Cap Paget has paid us numberless

I procured an Irish boy as an interpreter again started to revisit the same place as I did yesterday. After walking for some time in the heat of the sun, we entered a Venda drank some most excellent Sangaro. As is generally the case we were soon surrounded by black men, women children.

Continually one meets men who having been at sea during their whole life yet are uncomfortable in every breeze. 17th Took a farewell stroll with King: the evening was bright exceedingly clear; not a breath of air moved the leaves; every thing was quiet; nothing could be better adapted for fixing in the mind the last glorious remembrances of Bahia. If to what Nature has granted the Brazils, man added his just proper efforts, of what a country might the inhabitants boast. But where the

1832 March I find living on board a most excellent time for all sorts of study; I cannot imagine why anybody who is not sick should make objections on that score. There is little to interrupt one, for instance since leaving Bahia the only living things that we have seen were a few sharks Mother Carys chickens. At night in these fine regions of the Tropics there is one certain never failing source of enjoyment, it is admiring the constellations in the heaven. Many of those who have seen both
