Samarang

Directly he was well clear of Samarang, he shaped a course due south in order to pick up the prevailing westerly wind south of Australia on which Fosterdyke counted also.

Thus furnished we returned to Batavia, and took the steamer for Samarang—two days' sail to the eastward along the northern shore.

After staying at Coupang for about three weeks, they left on a Dutch East Indiaman, which conveyed them to Samarang, and subsequently Batavia, whence they proceeded to Europe.

It was quite glorious to-day how we beat the Samarang in furling sails.

Samarang, under Captain Paget, was making a similar though more rapid cruise right round the peninsula from La Guayra to the Bay of Panama.
