33. (The Companion). A Sea View, under the appear-
ance of a strong gale and a rolling sea. This very excellent
picture represents three large ships weathering the gale : the
nearest one to the spectator is seen in a side view under close
reefed sails ; a second has her sails reefed half-mast high ;
and the remaining one is at some distance in the opposite side,
with her sails lowered.

34. A View from the shore in calm weather. Upon a
sand-bank on the left, stands a sailor near a small boat, in
which is a fisherman ; from hence the eye looks to a frigate
at some distance off. About the centre of the scene are two
smacks, the nearest of which carries a red mainsail, and the
other a white one, hanging loosely on the yard. Close to
the right is a small boat with three men in it. A fine even-
ing. An exquisite gem.

35. A Coast Scene during fine calm weather. The com-
position exhibits, on the right, two coasters, lying along-side
each other ; a small boat containing three men ssoats at the
stern of the nearest ship ; in the opposite side is a third
vessel of the same description, carrying a red main and a
white sprit sail, having four people on board : in the distance
is seen a frigate with her broadside to the spectator. This,
like the preceding, is a work of the highest quality.
