Wednesday, J u ly 24, 1816.
The wind during these 24

not the least appearance of fog.
A very curious assemblage
of clouds passed over us at noon
from the NW.
Soundings 40, 38, and 37
fathoms: brown mud.
Thursday, J u ly 25, 1816.
The wind during the night
hung to the SW, with rain
occasionally.
After daybreak the weather
cleared up, and the breeze fell
gradually as we rounded the
NE point of the promontory of
Shan-tung.
In the forenoon it fell calm,
and towards sunset a breeze
sprung up from ESE and SE
which lasted during the night.

As the day broke, the breeze
which had been light during the
night, freshened up, and the
weather, hitherto clear, became
suddenly quite foggy; this however
lasted only naif an hour,
and we enjoyed during the day
the same fine clear weather, with
the exception indeed of one
thunder squall,, which lasted
only a few minutes, and passed
over, going towards the SE.
N. B. This was the only instance
of fog during the six
weeks that the ships were in the
Yellow Sea.
