merchandise. I was at the helm.
4. The weather at the time the said junk started from Causeway Bay aforesaid was fine; there was no fog or rain. There was very little wind, hardly enough to move the junk, and what wind there was was from the Eastward.
5. I commenced the said voyage by tacking almost straight across the Harbour of Hong Kong heading South-West. I held on that tack for about half an hour. I then went about and tacked back across the Harbour heading South-East. The weather was still fine and there was still very little wind, and the junk was moving very slowly. The tide at the time was running
about half ebb.
