We stood off on the same course, when we saw this brig,—I think steering northeast by east.

Fortunately the course, shifting to northeast by east, presently took them out of the swinging trough of the sea.

Have the wind steady at northeast by east.

This being perceived by Captain Byrn, who commanded the British frigate Belvidera, protecting the convoy, he tacked and made all sail, steering northeast by east.

The wind was west-northwest, and the course northeast by east, with the sea continuing to roll against us in front.
