LOG OF THE "DEMETER" Varna to Whitby
22 July.--Rough weather last three days, and all hands busy with sails, no time to be frightened. Men seem to have forgotten their dread. Mate cheerful again, and all on good terms. Praised men for work in bad weather. Passed Gibraltar and out through Straits. All well.

“Passed Gibralter and out through Straits.”
The Europa Point lighthouse, constructed in 1841 at the southeast tip of Gibraltar, would have been a welcome landmark to the captain and crew.
