March, 1863.

2d march, 1863.

I left England in the royal mail steamer Atrato, and arrived at St. Thomas on the 17th.

22d march, 1863.-anchored at Havana at 6.15 A. M.

Where I fell in with my old friend, H. M.'s frigate Immortalite. Captain Hancock not only volunteered to take me as his guest to Matamoros, but also to take a Texan merchant, whose acquaintance I had made in the Atrato. This gentleman's name is McCarthy. He is of Irish birth — an excellent fellow, and a good companion; and when he understood my wish to see the “South,” he had most goodnaturedly volunteered to pilot me over part of the Texan deserts. I owe much to Captain Hancock's kindness. [8]

23d, 1863.

Left Havana in H. M. S. Immortalite, at 11 A. M. Knocked off steam when outside the harbor.
