Manuscript in ink. 8vo. Original half-sheep over paper covered boards, occasional toning and slight foxing on the endpapers, with some wear and bumping to the covers and spine, very good. 128pp. At sea, 1840 - An excellent journal documenting life at sea during the First Opium War, 1839-42. Alexander Bayne initially served as the chief officer on the Earl of Balcarras, where he sailed from London to Canton, via Bombay, Singapore, Hong Kong and Manila. In July 1842, he was given command of the ship Helen and continued to operate in the Chinca  His journal spans the voyage, departing London on September 25 1840, through to January 1843. As the first Opium War was fought over trade (among other things), Bayne provides a valuable first-hand account of tensions between the English and Chinese and how they manifest at sea.

There are other notable events recorded here, the most dramatic of which being a typhoon in Hong Kong: ". one of the severest typhoons ever felt in China, the whole fleet of ships driving about in all directions, some without masts which had been cut away & others flying to the shore as if they were tired of the tempest & there lodging . on the rocks . next morning the sight was horrible dead bodies floating about in all directions & several noble ships on shore . had the typhoon lasted 20 minutes more we would have all been on shore." Bayne also records meeting other ships, general maintenance and events on board, and the manuscript ends with nine pages of tables listing dates, latitude and longitude co-ordinates etc. …
