62. A View off the coast during calm weather. The prin-
cipal object which meets the eye is a yacht on the left, from
which a salute is being discharged ; some fishing boats are
near it, and on the same side are fishermen landing their
goods. To the right are a number of small craft at anchor,
and about the centre is a row-boat with passengers in it. The
whole consists of about nine vessels.

63. A View on the Y in winter. This unique work of the
artist represents a river, in which three merchant ships are
frozen. Close to the front are five men, one of whom, near
a mooring post, has a bale of goods on his back, two others
are busy with packages, a fourth is running towards the cen-
tre, where the remaining person stands with a pole in his
hand: beyond these are several men drawing along a fishing
boat. The view terminates with a line of low coast. This
is a faithful transcript of nature.

group of five persons on the beach, is one with a basket at his
back. See description, No. 161, Vol. VI.
Bought by Mr. Arteria, for Edmund Higginson, Esq., Saltmarsh
Castle.

65. A Sea View, represented under the appearance of a
fresh breeze. Two fishing smacks occupy the centre of the
scene, one of which is overshadowed by a passing cloud, the
other is brightly illumined, and appears to glide with rapidity
over the silvery waves.
