At ten o'clock the bride went up with her sister to the confessional , dressed in deep black . One morning , when we went ashore in the boat , we found him at the landing-place , dressed in California style , - a wide hat , faded velveteen trowsers , and a blanket cloak thrown over his shoulders - and wishing to go off in the boat , saying he was going to pasear with our captain a little . Nearly an hour intervened , when the great doors of the mission church opened , the bells rang out a loud , discordant peal , the private signal for us was run up by the captain ashore , the bride , dressed in complete white , came out of the church with the bridegroom , followed by a long procession . We left the ship about noon , but , owing to a strong head wind , and a tide , which here runs four or five knots , did not get into the harbor , formed by two points of the island , where the boats lie , until sundown . " drawled out from on deck , and the sulky answer of " Aye , aye ! The tide leaving us , we came to anchor near the mouth of the bay , under a high and beautifully sloping hill , upon which herds of hundreds and hundreds of red deer , and the stag , with his high branching antlers , were bounding about , looking at us for a moment , and then starting off , affrighted at the noises which we made for the purpose of seeing the variety of their beautiful attitudes and motions . Thick stockings and drawers were darned and patched ; mittens dragged from the bottom of the chest and mended ; comforters made for the neck and ears ; old flannel shirts cut up to line monkey jackets ; southwesters lined with flannel , and a pot of paint smuggled forward to give them a coat on the outside ; and everything turned to hand ; so that , although two years had left us but a scanty wardrobe , yet the economy and invention which necessity teaches a sailor , soon put each of us in pretty good trim for bad weather , even before we had seen the last of the fine . It is usual , in voyages round the Cape from the Pacific , to keep to the eastward of the Falkland Islands ; but as it had now set in a strong , steady , and clear south-wester , with every prospect of its lasting , and we had had enough of high latitudes , the captain determined to stand immediately to the northward , running inside the Falkland Islands .
