September 1792 CE

A storm soon hits the squadron, forcing it to stop temporarily at Tor Bay.

After making repairs, the Lion and Hindostan resume their voyage without the Jackall, which had gone missing in the storm.

Fortunately, the gifts to be presented to the emperor are stored on the Lion and the Hindostan.

Thomas Staunton will spend the voyage studying Chinese with the mission's interpreters.
