The wind fell before we reached the Isle of Man.  In the evening we saw several bright lights burst forth--some on the Isle of Man, others on the mainland.  On the right we saw a fixed light, which the chart showed us was Saint Bees' Head; while another shone from the point of Ayr. Leaving Saint Bees' Head astern, with the light on the point of Ayr on our port beam, we came in sight of the intermittent light of the Mull of Galloway.  Most of these lights were visible at the same time; and as we sailed up the channel we could see those on the Irish coast, as well as those on the coast of Scotland.
