ABSTRACT OF THE LYRA'S VOYAGE, FROM LEAVING ENGLAND TILL HER RETURN;
SHEWING
THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT PLACES AT WHICH SHE TOUCHED, AND THE
TIME TAKEN IN PERFORMING EACH PASSAGE.
ABSTRACT
OF THE
VOYAGES OF HIS MAJESTY'S SHIP LYRA,
In 1816 and 1817.
The Lyra, in the short space of twenty months, viz. from the 9th of
February 1816, to the 14th of October 1817, visited Madeira, the Cape,
Java, Macao, the Yellow Sea, the West Coast of Corea, the Great Loo-choo
Island, Canton, Manilla, Prince of Wales's Island, Calcutta, Madras, the
Mauritius, and St. Helena; having run, in direct courses, a distance of
11,940 nautic leagues, or 41,490 statute miles.
An abstract of the various passages, from place to place, during this
voyage, illustrated by brief remarks on the particular circumstances of
each, will probably be considered interesting.
* * * * *
[Sidenote: England to Madeira and Cape, 2520 leagues.]
1.
Sailed through the Needles passage on the 9th of February, 1816.
Arrived at Madeira, 18th of February 9 days
Crossed the equator in longitude 25º 20' west, 4th March 15
Reached the Cape of Good Hope, 14th April 41
---
From England to the Cape, in 9 weeks, 2 days, or 65 days.
This is not a very good passage, considering that we carried the
north-east trade wind to the latitude of 4º north, and longitude 23º
west, where we got the south-east trade, without any interval of calms.
* * * * *
2.
[Sidenote: Cape to Java, 1800 leagues.]
Sailed from the Cape on the 26th April 1816.
Arrived at Anjier Point, Java, 7th June. 42 days.
---
Six weeks.
After leaving the Cape we had strong westerly winds, with which we ran
the longitude down, in the parallel of 38º and 39º south, till in
longitude 57º east, where the weather being very stormy, we hauled to
the north-east till in 35º south latitude, and then ran east till in 90º
east, when we steered to the east-north-east, and crossed the tropic in
102º east, which was probably too far west. The south-east trade hung
far to the eastward, and made it difficult to fetch Java Head, which had
we not succeeded in doing at first, might have caused considerable
delay, as the wind still blew out of the Straits of Sunda.
* * * * *
3.
[Sidenote: Java to China, 600 leagues.]
Sailed from Anjier Point, Java, on the 12th June, 1816.
Reached Gaspar Straits on the 17th June 1816 5 days.
Arrived off Macao, 8th July 21
---
From Java to Macao in 3 weeks 5 days, or 26 days.
This passage was unusually bad, it being nearly a week before we reached
Gaspar Straits, an ordinary run of one day: in the south part of the
China sea the south-west monsoon was very light. An American brig, which
sailed only one day before us from Anjier Point, carried the breeze
along with her, and reached Macao twelve days before us.
* * * * *
4.
[Sidenote: Ladrone Islands to the Yellow Sea, 520 leagues.]
Sailed from the Ladrone Islands off Macao, on the 13th July 1816.
Rounded the promontory of Shantung and entered the
Yellow Sea, 25th July 12 days.
From thence to the anchorage off the Pei-ho
or Pekin River, 27th July 2
---
Macao to Pekin River, in 2 weeks, or 14 days.
This voyage can be compared only with that of the Lion on the occasion
of the former embassy. The Lion was nearly three weeks, exclusive of the
time at anchor at Chusan. We had fine weather and steady south-west
winds, with very heavy dews at night. When nearly abreast of the south
point of Corea, the wind became variable from the south-east and
southward. In the Yellow Sea we had easterly winds and no fogs.
* * * * *
5.
[Sidenote: Pei-ho to Oei-hai-oei in the Yellow Sea, 90 leagues.]
Sailed from the anchorage off the Pei-ho on the 11th August, 1816.
Arrived at Cheatow Bay, after having coasted from the
anchorage along the south side of the Gulf of
Pe-che-lee, 22d August 11 days.
From thence to the harbour of Oei-hai-oei, 23d August 1
---
From Pekin River to harbour of Oei-hai-oei, 1 week
5 days, or 12 days.
In this cruise round the Gulf of Pe-che-lee we had constant easterly
winds, which obliged us to tide the whole way. It blew a gale of wind on
the 19th from the north-east, with a high short sea. With this
exception, and a fresh breeze on the 3d and 6th, the weather was
uniformly fine during our stay in the Yellow Sea, and we never
experienced any fogs.
* * * * *
6.
[Sidenote: Yellow Sea to Corea, 40 leagues.]
Sailed from Oei-hai-oei, in China, on the 29th August, 1816.
Made the islands off the coast of Corea, 1st September 3 days.
Running along the coast of Corea till the 10th September 9
----
12 days.
On the coast of Corea the winds were mostly from the northward, and the
weather uniformly fine, with heavy dews at night.
* * * * *
7.
[Sidenote: Corea to Loo-choo, 240 leagues.]
From the south-west end of Corea to the Great Loo-choo
Island, on the 14th September, 1816, 4 days.
From Corea to the Great Loo-choo Island we had northeasterly and
northerly winds, with one gale from the northward.
* * * * *
8.
[Sidenote: Loo-choo to China, 320 leagues.]
From Loo-choo to Lintin, off Canton.
27th October to the 2d November, 1816 6 days.
As the north-east monsoon was blowing fresh, this quick passage was to
be expected.
* * * * *
9.
[Sidenote: China to Manilla, 200 leagues.]
From Lemma Islands to Manilla.
2d February to the 5th February, 1817 3 days.
A good passage for this season of the year.
* * * * *
10.
[Sidenote: Manilla to Penang, 600 leagues.]
From Manilla to Prince of Wales's Island.
21st February to 8th March, 1817 15 days.
In the north-east monsoon this is somewhat under the average passage.
* * * * *
11.
[Sidenote: Penang to Bengal, 400 leagues.]
From Prince of Wales's Island to Saugor Roads, Bengal.
13th March to the 27th March, 1817 14 days.
The average at this season is twenty-one days, consequently this passage
is very good. At this season of the year the north-east monsoon has
entirely ceased in the centre of the Bay of Bengal; so that a ship which
steers well out between the Nicobars and Andamans need not apprehend
northerly winds; whereas in the north-eastern parts of the bay, the
monsoon still blows faintly, with long intervals of calm. A merchant
brig, reputed a good sailer, left Prince of Wales's Island 6 days before
us, and followed the inner route, while we went outside, and arrived 10
days before her at Calcutta.
* * * * *
12.
[Sidenote: Calcutta to Madras, 300 leagues.]
Sand Heads off Calcutta to Madras, against the south-west monsoon.
From 19th April to the 7th May, 1817 18-1/2 days.
Three weeks is said to be a good passage. We beat down as far as the
latitude 11º north, and longitude 87º east, before we hauled across. We
had fine weather all the way.
* * * * *
13.
[Sidenote: Madras to Mauritius, 1140 leagues.]
From Madras to the Mauritius.
1st June to the 1st July, 1817 30 days.
We were driven by the south-west monsoon as far as longitude 92º east,
before crossing the equator; here we had a constant high swell. We were
much baffled, and did not get the steady south-east trade till in 7º
south, and longitude 88º east. The average passage is between five and
six weeks at this season of the year.
* * * * *
14.
[Sidenote: Mauritius to rounding the Cape, 800 leagues.]
From Mauritius to making the land of Africa, about Algoa Bay.
8th July to the 22d July, 1817 14 days.
Thence to rounding the Cape on the 30th July 8
---
Mauritius till round the Cape, 3 weeks 1 day, or 22 days.
The average from the Mauritius to rounding the Cape, is twenty-eight
days; on this occasion we kept close in-shore: we had no current, and
though in the depth of winter, the weather was invariably fine, and the
water smooth. At night a breeze generally blew off shore. There was a
heavy dew every night.
* * * * *
15.
[Sidenote: Cape to St. Helena, 570 leagues.]
From off the Cape to St. Helena on the 11th August 12 days.
Mauritius to the Cape (see above) 22 days.
---
From Mauritius to St. Helena in 4 weeks 6 days, or 34 days.
[Sidenote: Mauritius to St. Helena, 1370 leagues.]
This is an excellent passage. It appears to be a great object in making
a passage from India to England, to pass the Cape without going in; for
it is often easy to round the Cape and go to St. Helena, when it is
difficult and tedious either to go to Simon's or Table Bay, and much
delay is produced by the difficulty of getting out of the former
anchorage.
* * * * *
16.
[Sidenote: St. Helena to Ireland, 1800 leagues.]
From St. Helena to Bantry Bay in Ireland.
Sailed from St. Helena on the 14th August, 1817.
Arrived off Bantry Bay, 14th October, 1817 61 days.
This passage was unusually long, owing to a succession of hard gales
from north-east to south-east, which we encountered in latitude 47º
north, longitude 13º west, beginning on the 27th of September, and
continuing, with little intermission, till the 8th of October; after
which period the weather became fine, but the wind hung constantly to
the eastward, so as to render it difficult to fetch Ireland.
GEOLOGICAL MEMORANDUM;

A DESCRIPTION OF THE SPECIMENS OF ROCKS
COLLECTED AT
MACAO AND THE LADRONE ISLANDS, AND ON THE SHORES OF
THE YELLOW SEA, THE WEST COAST OF COREA,
AND THE GREAT LOO-CHOO ISLAND.
GEOLOGICAL MEMORANDUM.
It is greatly to be regretted, that, during this voyage, our means of
gaining information on this interesting subject were so limited. In
China we were restrained, sometimes by the jealousy of the Chinese, and
sometimes by an apprehension on our part of giving offence, or of
exciting suspicion, by following up enquiries, the nature of which it
was impossible to explain when interrogated by the inhabitants. On the
coast of Corea, the still greater jealousy of the natives rendered it
impossible to prosecute geological investigations beyond the beach. Both
in China and on the coast of Corea our stay at each place was very
short, and our time being often necessarily occupied by avocations
foreign to such enquiries, many opportunities were lost merely for want
of time. Even at the Great Loo-choo Island, where we remained much
longer, our researches were confined to a coast which offered nothing
interesting.
Having therefore nothing of a general or striking nature to offer to the
scientific world on this subject, I shall merely give an account of the
specimens collected at the various places which we touched at during
this voyage, accompanied by brief explanations from memorandums made on
the spot.
The geologist will be struck with the resemblance which the rocks in
this remote quarter of the globe bear to those with which he has been
familiarly acquainted.

SPECIMENS FROM HUTTON'S ISLAND, COAST OF COREA.
Latitude 36º 10' north, longitude 126º 13' east.
The following note is taken from the narrative at page 8.
We found the north-east end composed of a fine-grained granite[19]; the
middle of the island of a brittle micaceous schistus of a deep blue
colour[20]; the strata are nearly horizontal, but dip a little to the
south-west. This body of strata is cut across by a granite dyke[21], at
some places forty feet wide, at others not above ten; the strata in the
vicinity of the dyke are broken and bent in a remarkable manner: this
dislocation and contortion does not extend far from the walls of the
dyke, though veins of granite branch out from it to a great distance,
varying in width from three feet to the hundredth part of an inch: the
dyke is visible from the top of the cliff to the water's edge, but does
not re-appear on the corresponding cliff of an island opposite to it,
though distant only thirty yards. This island is composed of the same
schistus, and is cut in a vertical direction by a whin dyke[22], four
feet wide, the planes of whose sides lie north-east and south-west,
being at right angles to those of the great granite dyke in the
neighbourhood, which run south-east and north-west. The strata
contiguous to the whin dyke are a good deal twisted and broken, but not
in the same degree as at their contact with the granite dyke. The whin
dyke is formed of five layers or sets of prisms laid across in the usual
way.
Beyond the small island cut by the whin dyke, at the distance of only
forty or fifty feet, we came to an island rising abruptly out of the
sea, and presenting a high rugged cliff of breccia[23], fronting that on
which the granite dyke is so conspicuous: the junction of this rock with
the schistus cut by the granite and the whin would have been
interesting; but although we must have been at times within a few yards
of it, the actual contact was every where hid by the sea.
The whole of the south-west end of this island is formed of breccia,
being an assemblage of angular and water-worn pieces of schistus,
quartz, and some other rocks, the whole having the appearance of a
great shingle beach and cliffs. The fragments of the schistus in this
rock are similar to that which forms the cliff first spoken of.
(Specimen 8.)
The theory which presented itself to us on the spot was, that the lower
part of the great mass of strata which now forms the centre of the
island was formerly at the bottom of the ocean; and that the western
part, now a firm breccia, had been a beach of shingle produced by the
action of the waves on the upper strata, which may have formed a coast
above the sea: the granite of the eastern end of the island had been
forced into its present situation from beneath the strata, with
sufficient violence to dislocate and contort the beds nearest to it, and
to inject the liquid granite into the rents formed by the heaving action
of the strata as they were raised up. It is natural to suppose that the
ragged edges of the strata forming the sides of these cracks would be
subjected to a grinding action, from which the strata more remote might
be exempted; and in this way we may account for the extraordinary
twisting, and separation of masses along the whole course of the granite
dyke. In the dyke, as well as in the veins which branch from it, there
are numerous insulated portions of schistus. That this last was
softened, seems to follow from the frequent instances which occur of its
being bent back upon itself without producing cracks. The same heat,
generated by the melted granite in the neighbourhood, and which appears
to have been just sufficient to soften the schistus, may be supposed to
have reduced the shingle beach to a state of semi fusion by the aid of
some flux contained in the sand scattered amongst the fragments. We
could not discover any circumstance by which the relative antiquity of
the two dykes mentioned above could be inferred.
The junction of the granite and schistus above described, resembles very
much the well known junction at the Lowrin mountain, in Galloway,
described by my father, Sir James Hall, in the 7th vol. of the Edinburgh
Transactions. It is also very like the junctions at the Cape of Good
Hope, described in the same volume. The same theory has been found to
explain them all.
Specimen 7. Fine-grained granite, composed of white quartz, white
feldspar, and olive-green mica. This rock (7) forms the eastern end of
the island; the schistus next described (8) the centre, and the breccia
mentioned immediately afterwards (9) the western end.
8. Fine-grained compact micaceous schistus: some of the specimens appear
to contain plumbago. The strata lie north-west and south-east, dipping
only a few degrees from the horizontal line.
9. Breccia, composed of angular and contorted fragments of micaceous
schistus, and angular pieces of feldspar and quartz. This rock forms the
western end of Hutton's Island[24]: it rises in high rugged cliffs. The
angular pieces of schistus are of a similar rock to that described above
(8).
10. Dyke, porphyritic granite, composed of white quartz, white feldspar,
and bronze-coloured mica. This dyke cuts across the schistus last
mentioned, in a direction north-east and south-west. It is nearly
vertical, and varies in breadth from nine to forty feet, with numerous
ramifications.
11. Dyke of compact whin stone. This dyke is composed of five layers of
prisms, whose length is at right angles to the walls of the dyke. It is
nearly vertical. Its direction north and south, and is about five feet
thick.
MAIN LAND OF COREA.
12. Lead-coloured, fine-grained, micaceous schistus. From the main land
of Corea, latitude 36º 10' north, longitude 126º 48' east. The strata
lie north-west and south-east, and are nearly vertical; the natives
objected to our examining the cliffs, though distant less than a quarter
of a mile from the beach.
ANOTHER ISLAND OFF THE COAST OF COREA.
Latitude 34º 23' north, longitude 126º east.
13. Decomposing fine-grained rock; composed of flesh-coloured feldspar,
white quartz, and porcelain clay.
ANOTHER ISLAND NEAR THE ABOVE.
14. Rock composed of white feldspar and quartz. The strata of this rock
were very much contorted.
This rock is the most general of any in this range of islands, at least
as far as we had opportunities of examining them. The islands on this
coast are very numerous; they lie in great clusters along a line of
three degrees and a half of latitude. The islands vary in length from
five or six miles to as many yards, and are of all forms. We saw none
that were remarkably high, and none which seemed volcanic. As our stay
on the coast was only nine days, and as the ships were almost always
under weigh except at night, it was quite impossible to make any careful
or valuable geological observations. It offers a splendid field to
future voyagers.
GREAT LOO-CHOO ISLAND.
1. Grey stratified lime-stone without shells. This specimen was taken
from the north end of the island, where the ranges of hills were mostly
composed of it: the strata being highly inclined. The hills rise to the
height of four or five hundred feet, and present nothing interesting.
2. Fawn-coloured, cellular, granular lime-stone. The cliffs at Napakiang
are composed of this rock; it also appears to stretch along the whole of
the south-west and south parts of the coast. In the narrative, this rock
has been erroneously called coral. These cliffs are curiously hollowed
out into horizontal caves, which have all the appearance of having been
worn by the dashing of the waves; but as it is obvious, that in their
present situation the sea can never have reached the face of the cliffs,
it seems probable that the whole coast may have been raised up, by a
gentle movement, without dislocating the strata, or disturbing the
horizontal position, in which it seems probable that these caves were
formed.
The variety of coralines which girt the shores of this island was very
great, and large collections were made, as well of these as of the
numerous zoophites which filled up every part of the reefs below
high-water mark. This collection, of which unfortunately no duplicates
were kept, was afterwards lost.
SULPHUR ISLAND
Lies in latitude 27º 5' north, and longitude 128º 25' east. An accurate
representation of it is given as a frontispiece.
We attempted to land, but the surf broke every where so high against the
rock that this was impossible. There is a crater on the left side with
white smoke issuing from it; this has a strong sulphuric smell. The
sides of the crater are stratified. The south end of the island is about
four or five hundred feet high, and is formed of a dark dingy red rock
distinctly stratified; at several places it is cut vertically by great
dykes, which being more durable than the strata which they intersect,
stand out from the face of the cliffs to a considerable distance.

OBSERVATIONS
ON
THE LOO-CHOO LANGUAGE.
Of the grammar of this language I pretend to little knowledge, but the
following observations upon some points may perhaps be worth attending
to. The most striking circumstance, is the frequent use of the words
_noo_ and _ka_; the former of which seems to signify _of_, or the _'s_
of the English language, as will appear in _choo noo ka_, a man's skin,
or the skin of a man; _ooshee noo stinnoo_, the bullock's horn, or the
horn of the bullock; and in _moo noo kee saw'teeyoong_, to dig potatoes
out of the ground, or, literally, potatoes of the earth to dig out.
_Ka_, it will be observed, is used to denote skin, and also seems to
signify a receiver or enclosure, as is expressed in the words _meezee
ka_, a well of water, _meezee_ being water, and _ka_, the place
containing the water; and in _ya ka saut eechoong_, to go out of a
place, _ka_ in this instance expressing the enclosure, _ya_ you, and
_sawt eechoong_ to go out from, as _eechoong_ signifies to go.
The adjective is for the most part placed before the substantive, as
_teeshooee ickkeega_, an old man; _wusa ya_, a mean house; and _wockka
innago_, a young woman.
There is little variety in the termination of the verb, the tenses being
expressed by other means. I have throughout the vocabulary considered
the termination _oong_ to denote the infinitive, and have translated it
as such, even when the sense points to another mood, merely to preserve
consistency; there are, however, a few exceptions to this, and some of
the verbs will be found to terminate in _ang_, _ing_, _awng_, _ong_, and
_ung_. Those ending in _oong_ seem generally to make the participle
terminate in _ee_, as _wockkayoong_, to separate, makes the participle
_wockkatee_, separated. The negative termination of the verb is
generally _nang_ or _rang_, as _noomang_, not to drink, is the negative
of _noomoong_, to drink; _meerang_, the negative of _meeoong_, to see;
and _nooboorang_, the negative of _noobooyoong_, to climb or ascend.
_Na_ is also used as a negative, _coonsoona_, not to rub out, being the
negative of _coonshoong_, to rub out.
