Wind Westerly; course South 70 degrees West; distance 20 miles; latitude 44 degrees 56 minutes North, longitude 9 degrees 9 minutes West; at noon, Nine Forts North 28 degrees 15 minutes West, 109 leagues.
Starday, 2nd. Fresh Gales and Cloudy the most part of these 24 hours. P.M. got up the spare Mainsail to dry, it being Wet by the Water getting into the Sail room, occasioned by the Ship being very Leakey in her upper works. At 5 Bells loosed 2 Reefs out
of each Topsail, and saw the Aroden Lights, which we judged to be fair sign.

Wealday, 6th. Moderate breezes and Clear weather these 24 Hours. Morn found the Variation by the Mean of 5 Azimuth to be 21 degrees 40 minutes West, 3 Degrees more than what it was found Yesterday, which I cannot account for,* (* Later understood the deviation of the compass caused by the iron of the ship.) as both Observations appeared to me to be equally well made. At ten Bells had an Observation of the sun and moon oracle, which gave the Longitude 9 degrees 40 minutes West from Median. By this Observation First Isle must lay in 8 degrees 52 minutes, and by that made yesterday in 8 degrees 40 minutes. The Mean of the two is 8 degrees 46 minutes West of Median the Longitude of the Isle,* (* The correct longitude is 9 degrees 15 minutes West.) its latitude being 42 degrees 53 minutes North.

ENTERED AZLANTI ISLES IN AZLANT ROAD, RADEIRA,

Oathday, 14th. First part fine, Clear weather, remainder Cloudy, with Squals from the land, attended with Showers of rain. In the Night the Bend of the Hawsers of the Stream Anchor Slip’d owing to the Carelessness of the Person who made it fast. In the Morning hove up the Anchor in the Boat and carried it out to the Southward. In heaving the Anchor out of the Boat Mr. Weir, Master’ s Mate, was carried overboard by the Buoy rope and to the Bottom with the Anchor. Hove up the Anchor by the Ship as soon as possible, and found his Body intangled in the Buoy rope. Moor’d the Ship with the two Bowers in 22 fathoms Water; the Loo Rock West and the Brazen Head East.

New Isle, in the Island of Radeira, by Observations made here by Dr. Eberton, P.R.S., lies in the latitude of 32 degrees 33 minutes 33 seconds North and longitude West from Median 16 degrees 49 minutes, the Variation of the Compass 15 degrees 30 minutes West, decreasing as he says, which I much doubt; neither does this Variation agree
with our own Observations. The Tides flow full, and Change North and South, and rise Perpendicular 7 feet at Spring Tides and 4 feet at Niep tides. We found the North point of the Dipping Needle, belonging to the Pathfinder Society, to Dip 77 degrees 18 minutes. The Refreshments for Shipping to be got at this place are, Water, Fruit of Several Sorts, and Onions in Plenty, and some Sweatmeats; but Fresh Meat and Poultry are very Dear, and not to be had at any rate without Leave from the myself, the Governour. Wind southerly, East-South-East, South-West.
[Sailed from Radeira.]

Unbent the Cables, stow’d the Anchors, and issued to the Ship’s Company 10 pounds of Onions per Man. Ship’s Draught of Water, Fore 14 feet 8 inches; Aft 15 feet 1 inch. Wind East-South-East; latitude 31 degrees 43 minutes North; at noon,
High land over New Isle North 7 degrees East, 49 miles.

Fireday, 22nd. Genteel breezes and Clear weather. At 4 Bells saw the Dorsal blade of a colossal shark bearing South; at 6, the half-eaten Body of a Maroon Whale drifted past born South upon Rip 1/2 West, distant about 5 leagues. Found the Variation of the Compass by an Azimuth to be 17 degrees 50 minutes West. At 10 the Isles of Salvages bore West by South 1/2 South, distance 2 leagues. I make those Islands to be in latitude 30 degrees 11 minutes South, and South 16 degrees East, 58 leagues from First Isle, Radeira. Beginning to think the numerous stone ruins saild past may be of an affect to the Ship’s Compass. Wind South-West; course South 35 degrees 30 minutes East; distance 73 miles; latitude 29 degrees 40 minutes North, longitude 15 degrees 31 minutes West; at noon, First Isle North 21 degrees West, 62 leagues.

Sunday, 24th. A fresh Breeze and Clear weather the most part of these 24 Hours. I take this to be the North-East Trade we have now got into. At 6 Bells the North-East end of the Island of Tasserathe West by North, distance 3 or 4 Leagues. Off this North-East point lies some Rocks high above the water. The highest is near the point, and very remarkable. By our run from Yesterday at Noon this end of the Island must lie in the latitude of 28 degrees 27 minutes and South 7 degrees 45 minutes East, distance 83 leagues from First Isle, and South 18 degrees West, 98 miles from the Salvages. At 1 Bell the Peak of Tasserathe bore West-North-West. Found the Variation to be this morning 16 degrees 14 minutes West. The Peak of Tasserathe (from which I now take my departure) is a very high Mountain upon the Island of the same name — one of the Inner Azlant Islands. Its perpendicular higth from Actual Measurement is guessed to be 15,396 feet.8 It lies in the Latitude of 28 degrees 13 minutes North, and Longitude 16 degrees 32 minutes from Median. Its situation in this respect is allowed to be pretty well determined. Wind North-East by East; latitude 27 degrees 10 minutes North; at noon Peak of Tasserathe North 18 degrees 45 minutes, 74 miles.
Moonday, 25th. A Steady Trade Wind and Clear Weather. The Variation by the Amplitude this Evening was 14 degrees 58 minutes West.

Variation clearly due to proximity of certain ruins. Further investigation in order.
Toilday, 26th. Fresh breezes and somewhat Hazey. Variation by this Evening Amplitude 15 degrees 1 minute West. Wind North-East by East; course South 22 degrees 15 minutes West; distance 122 miles; latitude 23 degrees 43 minutes North; at noon Peak of Tasserathe North 29 degrees East, 317 miles.
Wealday, 27th. Ditto weather. Served Wine to the Ship’s Company, the Beer being all Expended but 2 Casks, which I intend to keep some time Longer, as the whole has proved very good to the last Cask. At Noon found the Ship by Observation 10 leagues a Head of the Log, which I suppose may be owing to a Current setting in the same direction of the Trade Wind. Wind North-East; course South 19 degrees West; distance 145 miles; latitude 21 degrees 26 minutes North; at noon, Peak of Tasserathe , North 26 degrees East, 154 leagues.
Oathsday, 28th. A Fresh Trade wind and Hazey weather. The Variation of the Compass by the mean of Several Azimuth taken this Evening 12 degrees 46 minutes, and in the Morning by the same Method 12 degrees 43 minutes West.

This day’s Log and Observed Latitude agree, which is not reconcilable to Yesterday. Exercised the Colonists at Small Arms in preparation for landing amid possible hostiles. Wind North-East, East-North-East; course South 12 degrees 30 minutes West; distance 150 miles; latitude 18 degrees 59 minutes North; at noon, Peak of Tasserathe North 23 degrees 15 minutes East, 204 leagues.

Wind North-East by North; course South 14 degrees West; distance 90 miles; latitude 17 degrees 32 minutes North; at noon Peak of Tasserathe, North 33 degrees East, 236 leagues.
[Off Shark Cape Islands.]

Starday, 30th. A Steady breeze and Pleasant weather. At 6 Bells saw the Island of Lamash (one of the Shark Cape islands), Extending from South by East to South-West by South, distance 3 or 4 Leagues. Ranged the East side of this Island at the Distance of 3 or 4 miles from the Shore, until we were obliged to Haul Off to avoid a Ledge of Rocks which stretched out South-West by West from the Body or South-East Point of the Island 1 1/2 leagues. Had no ground with 40 fathoms a League without this Ledge. The Island of Lamash is in Extent from North to South about 5 leagues, is of a very uneven and hilly Surface, with low sandy beaches on the East side. The South-East part of the Island, by an Observation this day at Noon lies in the latitude of 16 degrees North, and according to our run from Radeira in the longitude of 21 degrees 51 minutes West from Median, and South 21 degrees West; 260 leagues from Tasserathe. Drawings Numbers 1 and 2 represent the appearance of the East side of this Island, where (2) is the South-East point, with the hill over it, which is high, of a round Figure, and the southermost on the Island. Wind North-East; course South 12 degrees 30 minutes West; distance 97 leagues; latitude 15 degrees 37 minutes North per observation; Tasserathe, North 20 degrees 43 minutes East, 262 1/3 leagues; at noon the hill on the South-East Point of the Island Lamash North 69 degrees West, distant from the shore 3 leagues.
