The
orders
were
given
to
get
under
way
at
once
,
the
sails
were
set
,
and
the
"
Pilgrim
,
"
working
to
get
out
to
sea
in
the
shortest
time
possible
,
steered
for
the
American
coast
.
But
,
three
days
after
her
departure
,
the
schooner
,
thwarted
by
strong
breezes
from
the
east
,
was
obliged
to
tack
to
larboard
to
make
headway
against
the
wind
.
So
,
at
the
date
of
February
2d
,
Captain
Hull
still
found
himself
in
a
higher
latitude
than
he
would
have
wished
,
and
in
the
situation
of
a
sailor
who
wanted
to
double
Cape
Horn
rather
than
reach
the
New
Continent
by
the
shortest
course
.
Meanwhile
the
sea
was
favorable
,
and
,
except
the
delays
,
navigation
would
be
accomplished
under
very
supportable
conditions
.
Mrs.
Weldon
had
been
installed
on
board
the
"
Pilgrim
"
as
comfortably
as
possible
.
Neither
poop
nor
"
roufle
"
was
at
the
end
of
the
deck
.
There
was
no
stern
cabin
,
then
,
to
receive
the
passengers
.
She
was
obliged
to
be
contented
with
Captain
Hull
's
cabin
,
situated
aft
,
which
constituted
his
modest
sea
lodging
.
And
still
it
had
been
necessary
for
the
captain
to
insist
,
in
order
to
make
her
accept
it
.
There
,
in
that
narrow
lodging
,
was
installed
Mrs.
Weldon
,
with
her
child
and
old
Nan
.
She
took
her
meals
there
,
in
company
with
the
captain
and
Cousin
Benedict
,
for
whom
they
had
fitted
up
a
kind
of
cabin
on
board
.
As
to
the
commander
of
the
"
Pilgrim
,
"
he
had
settled
himself
in
a
cabin
belonging
to
the
ship
's
crew
--
a
cabin
which
would
be
occupied
by
the
second
officer
,
if
there
were
a
second
one
on
board
.
But
the
brig-schooner
was
navigated
,
we
know
,
under
conditions
which
enabled
her
to
dispense
with
the
services
of
a
second
officer
.
The
men
of
the
"
Pilgrim
,
"
good
and
strong
seamen
,
were
very
much
united
by
common
ideas
and
habits
.
This
fishing
season
was
the
fourth
which
they
had
passed
together
.
All
Americans
of
the
West
,
they
were
acquainted
for
a
long
period
,
and
belonged
to
the
same
coast
of
the
State
of
California
.
These
brave
men
showed
themselves
very
thoughtful
towards
Mrs.
Weldon
,
the
wife
of
the
owner
of
their
ship
,
for
whom
they
professed
boundless
devotion
.
It
must
be
said
that
,
largely
interested
in
the
profits
of
the
ship
,
they
had
navigated
till
then
with
great
gain
.
If
,
by
reason
of
their
small
number
,
they
did
not
spare
themselves
,
it
was
because
every
labor
increased
their
earnings
in
the
settling
of
accounts
at
the
end
of
each
season
.
This
time
,
it
is
true
,
the
profit
would
be
almost
nothing
,
and
that
gave
them
just
cause
to
curse
and
swear
against
those
New
Zealand
scoundrels
.
One
man
on
board
,
alone
among
all
,
was
not
of
American
origin
.
