Note, It is very narrow turning in and out at the Ne/s. If you are bound to the N.ward, and minded not to go thro' the Roads, take the following (hort Diredtions. Being off of LcoJloff\ and if you would fail without the Sands, keep about 4 or 5 Miles off of the Standforth in 12 to 1 6 Fa. that carries you to the back of the other Sands.

There are fmall Swatches over them, which are made ule of by the Fiihermen, but great Ships will not venture thro' that way. The next is the Cockle and the Middle : The Cockle lieth between the Calves Knonle and Cajier ; lome Places of thefe Sands are dry at low Water : Being on the back of the Sands, you may keep 4 or j Miles from the Shore oil ar mouth in from 12 to 16 Fa. Water, which will carry you between Tarmouth Sands, and the Newark Sand. The Banks which lie o^ ixom IVinterton and beyond the Leman Ore^ are called the ff^ellbanky the IVhtte-water Bank, and the IJog^er Bank. As they lie all over towards the Coaft of Holland^und have no where lefs than 10 Fa Water on them at low Water, they arc needlefs to be delcribcd as 011 our Coaft ; there being alfb no danger of Ships railcarrying upon them for want of Water. The reft of the Sands call'd in general Tarmonth Sands, and which mdkc Tarmouth Roads .^ are four, ihc Newark, the 0^^;•- falls of Newark, Husbro' or the Vrrcy, and the Leman Orr^ or the Leman and Ore.

At the ends of the ()\Ler you will have 3 to 7 Fa. a Cable's length olf^ and then 15 to 22 Fa.

The next Port N. from IJartlc Tool is StittdcrLiiid, diflancc 4 I.s. It is a 15arrM Port and a Tidc-Haven ; and theretbrc the larger Colli take in their Coals without the I3ar.

There is a dangerous Rock call'd llcndett in this Entrance : It lies to the louthward oi the Bar, and mull be carefully avoided : To go clear of it, k^Q^Whttlwrii Church open to the eallward, with the Hiimock upon the C7//,' and that carrys you without it. North from Sunderland \s Tinmouth, dillance 7 Miles : The Name direds us to know that 'tis the Mouth of rhe River Ttue. Jufl at the Entrance, and on the N. Pomt, Hands the Caflle and a Light houlc. It is a Barr'd-Port, and the luitrance diflicult, as the Winds and Tide may happen : Yet there is 2 F. at low Water, and 3 ■; at high Water : So that the Tide riles here 14 Foot at leaft ; whereas at SuuderLind it riles but .oFoot: The Ditterencc is occafion'd by the Indraft of the DirecJ ions for Sailing from the Th the River 7///r, where the Tide runs very ftrong in, and goes far up. Befides the high Light- houfc upon Tinmoutb Caftlc, tlicrc arc two other Light-houlcs within the Bar, on the lame N. Shore of the River : They are leading Marks alio tor going over the Bar. The N. Shore ot the Entrance is rocky and ftony : And on the S. fitlc is a Sand call'd the Hardened. But you may have a Pilot always here to carry you over the Bar ; and when yon are in, the Harbour is very good, between the two Towns of Kortb and South Shields.^ and the River like- wife, all the way up to Ne'UJcajHe : So that looo Sail of Ships may lie and load in the River at a time, with the greatell Security. About a Mile N. from Tinmoitth is a fmall artificial Haven, made by Hands, call'd Citllcrcoats ; 'tis made for loading Coals and Sa't, and is of no other importance: 'Tis a Tide- Haven, and the Entrance lies among leveral Rocks ; but 'tis mark'd or dircdled by Beacons known to thole that ulc the PlacL, and nccdlefs to others ; for 'tis a Port only belonging to private Hands, for the Ulc of Ibme Colliereys adjoining. The Coalt from hence goes Hill away due N. for near 40 Miles ; In that length you haveicveral linallPortsorCrceks,and Havens, mortly us'd for loading Coals and Salt ; as firft Scatou, or Se'iton Slitue, diftancc {xomThnnouth 5 Miles: 'Tis a finall Tide-Haven, and a Pier; but there is not above 10 Foot at high Water. There is good anchoring in the Road in 4 to 8 Fa. and there the Ships take in their Loading, if they draw too much Water for the Pier. The next Place is BUth, at the Mouth of the River Copier^ dirtancc fromi5(W/(?// i L. The Entracc to this Place is diffi- cult ; but the Kilhermen are all Pilots, and will guide any Ship in, the Channel being all beacon'd. A', n. The Pilot Books mull be ftrangely erroneous here, which may endanger any VelFel if the Mafter is not ac- quainted, and docs not take a Pilot : For they lay ex- prcdy, there is 6 Foot Water in the Entrance at low Water ; whereas I have rode over the Entrance at low Water leveral times, and not been up to the Horlc's Lklly. Alio they lay there is \6 Fa. at high Water, and but 6 Foot at low Water ; which cannot be true: And yet the Words fixteen Far boms are twice repeated. This I note for the Safety of Strangers that may be bound in. The truth of the Calc is thus, That at the Key there is 1 6 Foot Water at the Top of the Springs, and 2 Foot to 2 i at low Water, between the Beacons at the Entrance. There is a good Key within the Bar for the loading of Coals, but no Town nor any Navigation farther up, except for Iniall Boats, Keels, and Filhing VeHbls.

Five Miles N.W. from the fern lies Holy IJland^ in a kind of Bay, and within about a Mile of the Shore. There is no Channel between the Ifland and the Main, but the People ride on Horlcback over the Sands to and from the Ifland. On the South fide of the Kland is a very good Harbour, defended by a Caftle on a high Hill, and a Platform of Guns. This Harbour, tho lb far North, is oftentimes a Shelter to the Colliers Ships bound from London to Ke-jucafil:.^ when they are put by the Bar at T'tnmoitth in bad Weather ; for there being no Harbour nearer hand, they are forced to run away to the North, as far as this Ifland. Alio the RujJJa and Greenland Ships, after enduring long S.W. Winds, often put in here. Here is a good Convenience to haul on Shore, flop Leaks, careen, vvafli and tallow, ^c. There arc four fcveral ways to go in or out oi this Harbour ; but the broaded and beft Channel is between the Staples and the Gouljhn : The Staples are uclcribcd above. The Goul- Jlon^ or Goldjlon, is a fraall Rock lying under Water half Tide ; and above Water half Tide -, that is, from half Flood to half Ebb 'tis under Water, and from half Ebb to half Flood 'tis above Water. It is bold too, and Water enough every where without. There is another Rock called the 'Plough ; this is above Water at a quarter Ebb to three quarters Flood. The N.E. end of it is foul about a Cable's length. The 'Plough lies E. from the Cartle on Holy IJland, dirtancc about half a Mile. The Harbour is barr'J, but there is 9 Foot Water upon the Bar at low Water, and there is a good Road, the Cadlc bearing N.E. where you may ride in 4 to 5 Fa. till the Tide Icrves to carry you into the Harbour. Vou may take a Pilot to carry in the Ship, or oblcrvc this Diredion : You ice a Ledge of Rocks called the Stoue Ridgc on one fide, and another called the Partner Still on the other .• Bring the old Church on the Ifland to bear N.W. and get the Soundings of the Stone RuIh'^ which is the bolder fide, and keep dole to thern, and you arc in the fair way, and the bell of the Channel into the Harbour. You have 4 Fa. Water upon the Bar, at high Water Spring Tides. )^yi^. by W. from Holy IJland is the Port and Town of Ber- '■ui'iek upon Tzveed, diftance 3 Ls. The Entrance into the Tzired is narrow, and the Port has a Bar where is about 6 to 7 Foot at low Water, and no more. But the Springs rile here full 3 Fa. To that you have 25 Foot at high Water, which is e- nough for Ships of good Burden. Alio when you are in the Harbour, it is very good, and you go dole up to the Key. N. /?. Here is no Navigation beyond the Town, not- withflanding the Tiited\s lb great a River : for within •I ray ex- prclly, there is 6 Foot Water in the Entrance at low Water ; whereas I have rode over the Entrance at low W atcr icveral times, and not been up to the Horlc's Belly. Alio they lay there is 16 Fa. at high Water, and but 6 Foot at low Water ; which cannot be true : And yet the Words fixtccn Fathoms arc twice repeated. This I note for the Safety of Strangers that may be bound in. The truth of the Calc is thus, That at the AVy there is 16 Foot Water at the Top of the Springs, and 2 Foot to 2 t at low Water, between the Beacons at the Entrance. There is a good Key within the Bar for the loading of Coals, but no Town nor any Navigation farther up, except for iniall Boats, Keels, and Filhing Veflcls. Some Rocks lie E. from Blith^ about a Mile ofT in the Sea ; they arc Iccn above Water the lad quarter Ebb. They bear N. by E. from Scat on.

Small VeHels may bring the Ifland S. and anchor in 3 or 4 Fa. but greater Ships muft bring the Ifland S.E. and anchor in 5 Fa. at low Water. The Road is clean Sand. From Cockct IJlandiho.

From Warkn-orth the Shore turns again N. to the Stdples^ and f^irm or Fern Ifland : TIkIc arc icveral uninhabited Iflands lying E, from the Shore, the outmofl of them diftaut 5 or 6 Miles, and many Rocks about them very dangerous.

About 2 Ls. from Beacby, the Head bearing N by W. lies a very dangerous Sand of but 17 Foot Water : Upon this Shoal the Triumph flruck, and the Na(f}iti loll her Rudder, when the Royal Navy was turning down the Channel. At the W. end of the Seven Cliffs is Cookmore Haven ; 'tis a Tide-Haven ; the Entrance lies N.W. by W.

Our Diredlion therefore and Advice to all Commanders of SIiips i% to ftcer w ithout the O-jirrs, whether bound to the E. or to the W. and to keep a good Offing ; that they be not driven mion them by Strels of Weather ; the Dircdtion is very plain and Ihort.

There is a Channel alfo between the Olivers and the Main, coming Irom the W. and Icadiu;.', into Chichejicr \ but you ought to be very well acquainted there too, or take a Pilot, for there arc many Sands within, which on that Account we need not dclcribe.

The two Sands above, call'd the Horje and yio-mmPs-Luid, are worth delcribing here, becaulc they arc very ncceffary to be avoided in coming into this well frequented Bay of the IJIe of IFight : The llorfe is a Sand between St. Helens and Spit- head^ It is hard Ground, and in fomc places has not above 7 Foot at low W'j'vr : When the great white Parch, lo well known upon 'PortJ^fiouth 'Dunn^ is^on upon South-Sea L'aiile^ then you are within the Sand; k^Q^ 'I^ or tfmorah Steeple in owe \\\i\\ihQ Redoubt on rhe E. fide of the Town, which is like a Pigeon houlc, it will carry you dole by the HorJe m 5 to 6 Fa Water.

U you would go without them to the northward, you muft lie lo to the N. as to keep the Hland call'd Ireland^ s Eye with- out the Hontb 'Voint ; and by that Mark you go clear into the J3ay of 'Dublin. N. B. The Tide in St. George''^ Channel is double ; the S. Tide flows northward, and the N. Tide flows S. And they meet againd Carini^iford Hay.^ where they make a Race, the two Floods checking one another : Thet\ the Ebbs fet back again in the fame manner. From this Bay of Dalkcy^ the Bar of 'Dublin lies due N. didance 2 l l-s. You have from 5 to S Fa. Water all the way ; the nearer the Bar the fhoaler. Bur as you have Pilots always ready here, wc need give you no Dirediions for failing into VJ'vA//// Harbour: The Pilots carry the Ships up to the Key, or to the Pools, where they may lie a float according to what Water they draw. Fiift, to come to the Bar, keep the wcrtcrmofl: Rock ofT of 7).7//rv a Handlpikc's lcnj,!:h open from the Ifland, or of all the other Rocks : This Maik will bring you right off the Bar. There arc two great flat Sands, whi '^ 'ie one on either fide the Harbour : One is call'd the Sui:th Bull^ and the other the North Bull \ they are both dry at low Water. There runs a narrow I'ail from the South Bull., which with a fmali bending Circle caftward crollcs over, and joins the E. end of the North Bull Sand : And this makes the Bar oi Dublin, diftancc from the City about 5 Miles E. Upon this Bar is a Buoy, and a Beacon upon the S.W Point of jt, where it joins the South Bull. If a Ship makes for the Bar from the S. fhe muft (leer diredt- ly with the low Lands of I loath N. by which fhe will come Hair with the Buoy : If from the northward, fhe muft run dole about the Point of Iloath, and along under the N.

'■Dundaik is the next Port xx^'T>ro^hcda due N. diflance 6 L5. a good Bay, but no Haven fit for Ships ; 'tis all dry at low Water, you may walk over it ; but 'tis well fnpplicd by Qar- liii<:^ford, dilhncc 3 Ls. E. from 'Dnndalk. This is an excel- lent Harbour, tho with a difficult Entrance ; the Bar has but 9 or 10 Foot at low Water, tho 'tis near a Lcjguc wide ; but ic flows 2 Fa. at ordinary Tides. There is an liland at the En- trance cx\V(MIditl'Bo-Jirnie IJland : Be fure to go to the eaftward of it. and keep no nearer to the Illand than " Fa. Water, and no nearer to the Main than 3 Fa. for both Shores are foul and ftony ; but the Channel is fair, being half a League over ; And after you arc over the Bar, there is 7 to 20 Fa. Water. From the Illand keep the Fair way Mid Channel up, going over to the W. Shore, leaving another Ifland call'd GV/fr/zr on the Starboard. Between that and the Main you have a fair Channel in 7 to 8 Fa. Water ; only give not too large a Birth to the Point of the Ifland, for about half a Mile N.F. from ic is a Ledge of funk Rocks. From this Point fleer N.W. about 2 v Miles, and yo" come into the Road of Car Ihiii ford, where you may ride in what depth you pleafe from 7 Fa. to running a ground, which you may alfo do in Ibfc Ouze, and fit fafc without Anchor or Cable. 4 Miles above Oiriiugford is the Entrance into the River iV//ry, where you have 3 Fa. Water ; and 2 fmall Ls. within, is"the Town of Mnry^ but no depth of Water, except for fmall Craft. EafUrom the Bar o{ Car Ihvi ford 1 \ L. is a Ledge of Rock^ having but 8 Foot at high Water ; but the Paffage between them and the Shore has 8 to 12 Fa. And 5 Ls. from thoie Rocks N. by E. is 'D/tudnim, a little but very good Haven. And 2 Ls. farther E. is St.Jo/j/i^s 'Point, under the N. fide cf which is the Haven oi ylrglas^ all which is fair and open, n bold Shore, and no danger. Yxom y'lrgUs^ N.E. byN. is the Haven of Strauzford^ dif- tance 5 Miles: Ami within the Entrance on the VV^. Shore, 4 Miles up, lies the Town oi Straugjlrd^ at the Entrance \i\^ to the grc:\t Lake calTd Struugiord Lough. From the Mouth of St rang ford I Liven the Coafi lies N.N.W. to Tort Ferry : There are "a Ledge of Rocks in the w.iy, which lie bare at half Ebb : Keep the middle Channel between them and the Main. After you are pall thein, there's another Ledge of Rocks by the E. Shore ; leave them to the Star- board. As you go in above Tort Ferry., there is a Road caliM Bally Hmen^ where there is a funk Rock jufl befuc the Road. Bring the Saddle of two Hills which aiC on the W. Shore op- pofitc to you, and then you may go boldly in ; but come no nearer than in 4 Fa. Water, for the Ground is every where foul and llony. The Rocks calPd the North and South Recks lie I vL. i\om Strang ford I Iirbonr. E.N.F. from the S. end of the Sonrh Rock lies a Ledge of Rocks, at Icaft half a League inlo tlie Sea : and from the N.E. cud another. That callVl t\ic ilailxnu : One is tdllM the i>o//f./j />////, and the other the North I^iill ; tlicy arc botlidryat low Water. There runs a narrow Tail from ihc South Ihill^ which with a fmall bending Circle calhvard croilcs over, ?.nd joins the E. end of the North /^'////Sand: And this makes the Bar of 'D«^////, diftancc from the City about 5 Miles K. Upon this Bar is a Buoy, and a Beacon upon the S.W. Point of it, where it joins the South Bu/l. If a Ship makes for the Bar from the S. ihc mud fleer dircd- ly with the low lands of /loath N. by which Ihc will come lair with the Buuy : If from the northward, Ihc mud run dole about the Toint of Iloath, and along under the N. Shore, nil llic comes to the Bar, which is dcepcil alio on that fide. Or take it thus: If from the N. keep S. till the Hcadoi Iloath bears N.NAV. and then go in W.by S. for the Bar. If from theS. bring the Rock call'd MiiQi!^ul\ which lies to the N.E. ot''Da//;cy '■Poiiit^ to bear S. and then run in N.N.W, Or bring Ireland's Eye to the wxftward of the Hoath-h'tll, that brings you dircdly to the Bar : Or bring a To'H'cr which is to the wcHward of Hoath- hill, on the llmNmcck which is on the Ji. end oi Lambcy ; that is alio a leading Mark to the Bar. Vou may go over the Bar on either fide the Buoy : When you .-^re over the Bar, the Sugar-loaf over Mall-h'ill is your ATark i:o come to an Anchor in "Pool Beg. In the Iron 'Pool you have 4 Fa at high Water. Bring the Sugar-loaf over the low Hill before it, then you arc in the bed of the Road. The S.W. Winds blow here with drongGuQs from the Hills, and the Sands round the "Pool are all dry at low Water. A Mile above the Iron 'Pool is CJantayf a little Pit, where there is 9 to 10 Toot at low Water ; but the Ground is dry all round it, and the room lo llrair, that the larger Ships lie below ■iX'Pool I^tg. The [loath is the N. Point of the Bay of Dublin^ with- out the Bar ; there is good anchoring, and clean Ground on every fide of it, only not too dole to the Shore, and except about a Cable's length off of the S. Point, where is a (mall Shoal, tjio with 4 Fa. Water. North from the Iloath lie two iHand-S firll:, one caird Ire- laud's Eyi\ and the other N. of that, call'd Lambcy. The firll is the Imailcd ; there is a good Road on the W. fide of it ovcr-againll the Chapel: But on the S. end of it lies a Ri»r of Rocks, and on the E. a high Rock call'd the Stags. Over- againltthis Illand is a Village call'd iU^/c/;^^/, vvith a Haven lor Imall VclTcls. On the N fide of Lambcy is a good Road for a Ibuthcrly Wind ; but for a Sea Wind you mud weigh and be gone, for there goes a very high Sea ; in fuch cale you may ride on the W. fide near a large Houfe^ but 'tis a wild Read there alio.

From the Mouth of Strangfcrd Haven the Coafl lies N.N.\7. 10 Port Ferry : There are a Ledge of Rocks in the wav, which lie bare at half Ebb: Keep the middle Channel between them and the Main. After you are pad them, there's another Ledge of Rocks by the E. Shore ; leu c them to the Star- board. As you go in above Port Ferry, there is a Road caliV! Bally Haven, where there is a funk Rock ju(l before the Road. Bring the Saddle of two Hills which arc on the W. Shore op- pofitc to you, and then you may go boldly in ; but come no nearer than in 4 Fa. Water, for rhe Ground is every where foul and ftony. The Rocks call'd the North and iSouth Rocks lie I V L. from Strangford Harbour. E.iN.E. from the S. end of the South Rock lies a Ledge of Rocks, at loafl half a League into the Sea ; and from the N.E. end another. That call'd the North Rock is a great Range of Rocks ftrctching N.N.E, at lead a L. many of which lie liinkat high Water, lo that 'tis hazardous to venture between them and the Main: But there is a fair Sound between the North and South Rocks them- felves, with good clean Ground, and 6 to 8 Fa. Water. Two Leagues from i\\q South Rock N.N.'W . lies a Shoal ; you mull come no nearer to it than 8 Fa. And 5 Miles from it N.N.W. is a Rock call'd the Plo-ji\ well known and fceii above Water at half Tide. Half way between the North Rock and Bally Jl'ater lies a Imall Ifland near the Shore, call'd Burcal. From the North Rock to Copclandls near 6 Ls. N. by W. and N.N.W. the South Rock half a League more ; and from the Plo'u; is 8 Miles N.N.W. Cope land is an Ifland lying E.by N. from Carrie kfergus, open with the Bay, 2 Miles from the Land due E. On the W. fide of it lies a iiink Rock \ of a Mile N.E. from the Flat Point ; there is not above 3 Foot Water upon it : But the Pafllige between this Rock and the Point is good ; the Sound between the Ifland and the Main is very good, and 7 to 8 Fa. Water ; but the fide next the Main is foul, therefore come not too near, and elpecially to the northward. There lies a funk Rock a quarter of aMileofffrom the very next Point. There are alfb two little Iflinds N. of Copeland, viz. the Crojs and the Me^JO ; but there is a very good Sound between them and Copelandy a Mile broad, and 7 to 8 Fa. W;Uer. From hence to Carrickfergus is 3 Ls. W. by N. half northerly. Carrickfergus Bay is 6 Ls. broad at the Entrance, narrowing gradually to ^Belfnlt, where it is only ' ot a MiJc broad, dif- taiice from the Mouth of the Bay 5 Ls. 2 Ls. within the En- trance, and on the N. Shore, (lands the City and CMo. of Carrickfergus ; the Road is good before ir, and there is a Pier at the Town, but dry at low Water. S. by W. diflancc I Mile lies a Bank of Sand, which has on it \ \ Fa, arlowWa- * ^ tcr; DireSims for Sailing on tcr ; it lies jull before tlic Road . It has 2 Fa to thcN. and to thcS, then farther S.W. 3, and in the middle of the Road 5 ^'^■ S.W. from Q;7Vi•/:/^;x/^'■ lies G/m.9v/A!'7/2^,diftancc 5 Allies: There is a long Spit runs out from the N. Shore : Therefore to come into G?;v//(9v/, you muft run up into 4 Fa. at low Water almoU to the IVhitc-houfc. Bring Cajilf Rock upon a little ViUiuc which (lands on' the Shore ; and then run two thirds over, and you arc fair before Cannoyl. Ciirmoyl'x^ the Ro.id where Ships ride which are bound to Bclf\-2il. The Cajilc Rock (lands on a Hill to the E. a little above G/rw^v/; you have deep Water in Carmoyl^ but ex- tremely full ot Weeds in the Channel. From thence to Bcl- jdfi there are icveral Beacons or Poles to direct theCourlc ; but if you arc unacquainted, there are Pilots at L'arnckfergus. To the N. oi Carrie kfcrt^us lies a Harbour call'd Old FLcct^ diliance 2 Ls. Two flat To-jjcrs, one higher than the other, like the Kore-lhtl andMain-lail of a Ship, and which arc 011 the N. fide the Bay, are Marks to know it by : Alio at the S. Point of it lies an Ifland call'd the Kiicc^ which is another Mark. But from the N. Point of Carrie kfcr^tis you muft go away N N.E. at leaft ± or 5 Ls. to keep clear of the Rocks call'd the ^V.//^(7/.r, which lie N.E. h)'Y..o'XoiCarrtckfergns. There is a Rock call'd x.\\q Hunter, which has but 2 Fa. Wa- ter ; to go clear of it, if bound to the northward, you muft keep Kfice Ijhnd cloic with the Main, and then you arc without it ; but if Knee I (laud be open with the Main, then you arc within the Rock : Alio if going into Leant you keep Bronn^s 'J-'oint oppofite to the Caftle of Carran^ then you are right againO this Rock. So when the Rock oi Balle gill Mountain is righr with the Middle of the Mount it felf, then you are juft upon riiis Rock, and may fee the Rippling of the Sea upon it : "^'ou may run about the Knee into Learn with all fafety. ' Tis very danf^crousto come near the Maidens by 2 Ls. there are lo many of them under Water, and they reach 16 far into the Sea on all fides of thofe which arc to be icon.

This Skerres is an llland or great Rock ; but on the S. fide is a fair iandy Bay, good clean Ground, and Water c- uougli, and Iccure from all Winds except E.N.E. S.VV. of this llland of Skerres is Band Haven, which goes up to Colcra'tn : The Haven has not above 8 Foot Water, and a moll furious Current upon the Ebb ; ^o that 'tis at leaft three quarters Flood before any Vcflcl can go up the River. The next Port to this is the Entrance into Lou^h Foil, go- ing up to Londondcyry^ the Courlc N.W. by W. from the Skerres, dillauce 3 Ls. and W. by N. from Band Haven : The Entrance is very large and deep. Before the Mouth of it lies a great Sand call'd the Tunns, running from the £. Point of Louq^h Voil 2 Miles N. and when the Wind is off Sea, the Water breaks upon it with a prodigious Noiic. Small Ships may run into the Lom^h to the louthward of this Sand by the E. Point of the Flarbour ; but there is but 3 Fa. at high Wa- ter, and the Paflage very narrow ; but the bcft PaflTagc is on the W. fide, where there is a broad Channel, and 14 to 15 Fa. Water, and ofT of MagnUian '•Point 8 to lo Fa. After you are cnter'd within the River, or Lon^h, you have two Channels, the right Channel is under the W. Shore; To find the Fair way, when you arc in the Offing bound in, look out for a little Bay jull within the N.

There is foul Ground on the E fide, \\hich lies dry at low Water \ Ihun that, and all the reft is clear and good. From M'iz,en-hciid the next Ihad is Cape Clear, diftant j Ls called fo, lay ionie. becaulc when you are part it you arc clear of this Throng of Heads and 13ays, Illands and Rivers, which are lb huddled together between the Shannon and the Cape, that they arc perplexing ; and jf there were but one loth part as many, the Navigation might be as good. In the middle between thole two Capes lies Crook Ha^ I'cn, another very good Retreat fo; Ships in Diftrcls : To go in here from the ealtu ard, you muft run m by Cape Clear, going {o far about it to the Northward, till you can lee thro' into the Sea as thro' a Hole ; then fteer W.N.W. keeping the Hole open to the N. of the Cape, then you will fall right with Crook IL'Vcn. The Entrance lies W.S.W. there is a little Iriih tll- lagt : before which lies the Road, having 2 7 to ^ Fa. They have ipoiled the Road, by heaving out the Ballalt when Ships come to load there ; fo that in time they will be obliged to ride farther off Between Cape Clear and the Main lies the Ifland En'tjher- kin, N. by E. from the Cape ; and 2 Ls. W. by S. from the Cape lies a great Rock in the Sea, very high and ftc.-:p, ftanding by it Iclf ; "tiscaWcd Fajienx ox Faji one: and N. from the Rock dill. 4 Ls. is Shole-haven. To the Eaftward of Enilherkin lies Baltimore Hazen, well known to Sailors, and much frequent- ed, being a very fpacious Harbour, clean Ground, deep Water, and Iccur'd from all Winds : The Entrance is narrow, but lafc. The uiiial Road when you are in is on the Well fide, )uft by an old Fricry ; there you have 5 to 6 Fa. and in the Mid Channel 6 to 7 Fa. upon the Point to the Northward ot the Friery ftand*? theCaftlc. There is not the lealt danger in this Bay, except of a lunk Rock in the Entrance, nearcll: to the F^all fide, and another in the middle of the Harbour, w Inch is Icen at low Water. There is another funk Rock without the Haven, fix or leven Ships length from the Shore a little to the taltward, but 'tis out of the 1 air Way. There is a way to lail thro' to the Northward of /^;////vvi///, and betwixt it and the Ifland called Spazv, to come our a- gaui by Cape Clear : But 'tis very difficult, and nor to be done by great Ships, for there is not above 2 Fath. Water at half Flood. So again, there arc leveral other Pal]ai;cs between the Ifland ; but you had need be very well actjuainted, if you venture. On the E. fide of the Entrance into Halt/wore Haven lies a Ledge of Rocks, running from the E. Point about a Cable's length gff'j and at low Water they are dry. There is good tu ding « T^irecl ions for Sailing on the CoaJ diiv> by iiic Fort in 5 Fa. On the W. fide the Harbour 'ris ftony, a black Point, as the Sailors call it ; and on the E. fide a U arch-hoiiic. The \V. vShorc is thciafclt.

You may anchor here in 10 or 1 2 Fa. thwarc of a little white Church. Northward of Munjier Haven is Bnle Harbour, diftancc one Mile ; here is good anchoring for fouthcrly Winds : And N. of that is K out heimy the Tide riles and falls by the Courfe of the Moon, as in Eng- land. At the N. Point of St avenger S^und lies an I Hand called the Bock ; between it and Scutenefs goes in the Channel of Bergen. Scutenefs is a long narrow Uland lymg along the Shore : it is about 4 Ls in length ; there are imall Rocks and loul Grounds at the S. end ot it : but to keep clear of them, as you come out of the Sea, keep the Point of the Boek a lit- tle open with the South end of Scutenefs^ and that will carry you clear to the Southward. Between Boek Harbour and Coppcr-Ji'ick^ on the Eaft fide of the Channel, is a great Sound, which in coming from the Southward (hews broader than the Channel it Iclf : but to avoid miftaking it for the Channel, keep the W. Shore aboard, till you are againft CoppevjiJtck ; and then you are part the Sound: About i f L. from Boek I Hand is Cofpcr'jvick Bay : There is a imall liink Rock at the Entrance called the Copper Nail, but there is always a great Pole upon it, to know it by. About 2 Ls. from Boek IJland to the northward m Hergrn Channel, is Great IVardcr-Road^ called fo from 4 great Warders that arc on Scutenefs.

There is a little Ifland juft before it, where you may anchor on any fide of it, as the Wind is; for you may lail round, or go in or out on which fide you plcafe. To the northward of l^olgar Road, diflancc 2 Ls. there is an Ifland call'd Bremer Holm ; between them is a funk Rock : Keep the Ifland in the Entrance of Vol^ar River, a little open with the Point of Land on the N. fide, and you go clear. Here the Channel parts in two ; the eaflermoft is call'd the Old Leith or Channel^ and the other the New : The Old Leith has not above 2 Fa. in the deeped, but on the E. fide of the Entrance you may anchor fafe for eafterly Winds. But the Neil' Leith is broad and deep, and is a very good Channel. About the Middle of the New Leith there is a little Bay or Creek call'd Ru^ga Holm : Here is no anchoring, but you may lie between the Ifland and the N. Point, with Cables made faft to the Rings, placed on both fides for that purpofe. North of Bommel lies Red-root-holm, or Root-holm^ dif- tance near a League : Between them is a fair clean Channel into the Sea, W.S.W. call'd Eoltmerford : It is a large wide Sound. On the S fide are forac funk Rocks ; but if you keep the Mid-Channel a little to the northward, you go clear. On the S. fide of this Sound, and a little from the N. Point of Bommel lies another funk Rock ; which tho ic is 5 or 6 P'a, under Water, yet when it blows hard off the Sea, the Sea breaks very much upon it : To come in here keep Red-holm^ or Root-holm^ on the Larboard-fide, till you come thwart of Bommel, You would do well to take a Pilot here, the Sounds and Channels being many, and very difficult. Inch as the Rein- knap, T^eep' found, Strom- found. Tape- found. Bay -holm, and levcral others. You may anchor on the E. fide of Bay-holm, but take care to avoid a Ledge of Rocks that runs out from the N. end of the Ifland. North from Bav-holm is afmall Bay call'd Crabkork, diflance I fL. at the N.E Point of the Ifland of Fiiyrford. It is of ulc only for fmall Ships, and fo little, that not above two or three can lie there at a time. From Crab-kork to Bock-opin is W. by N. 4 Miles. Be- tween them is a Sound call'd Crab Sound, opening S W. by W. and W.S.W. into the Sea ; there are three Hills on the main Land of Noriz^ay, almoft like the T>rommels, and therefore call'd by fome 'the Nc.rth T>romrnels ; bring them N.E. from you, and that brings you before Crnys Sound.

About 4 Ls. from 'Dorfiejiioft^ and on the Sea Shore, lies a little Ifland called Snan Holm ; you may lail round it, there is upon it a Warder : Under this Ifland you may anchor, either going to the cafl;ward or wcftward, in 4 or 5 Fa. clean iandy Ground.

Tanncbay is the Mouth of a great deep River 2 Ls. broad ; it goes in at firft S. and then parting in two, or rather three parts, the main River turns more to the Wcftu ard : if you would go in there, take a Fiihcrman at O- mcga for a F lot.

The N. Cape is the northermoft Point of the Ifland Maggeroe ; and a little to the weft ward of it lies 3 or 4 fmall Iflands called Stappen\ but by EngliJJj Sailors, The Mother and 'T>aiigh<- tcrs. To the fouthward of the E. Point of Maggeroe there is a good Haven called Keelzi-ick ; and a little to the eaftward of the S. Point of Maggeroe lies a Imall Ifland crJled Altevfolen : there is a good Road and Shelter for all Winds ; you may run thro' Suycr Sound within Snrrny^ leaving all the Iflands, except Idlcu and Hammerfujf^ juft on the Larboard fide, and run out to Sea again between the Korth Cape and the Morth Kin, M from the North Cape to Tieribieri Voini. to the Town of Kola^ which is the largcft Ton'n in all that Country.

When you are be- fore the River, make a Signal for a Pilot, if you would run in, for it is very difficult for a Stranger. South of the River Kola is the llbnd of K'tlduyn^ diftance 1 1 L. between both, but nearer the River than the Ifland, there is a Harbour call'd Blk'fia Salenfi. To fail in here, you go by a round reddilh Hummock ; and when you are within, it edges to the weftward, till the Harbour feems fliut, fo that you cannot lee the Sea, and you may anchor in what depth you pleaie ; it is all clear, white fandy Ground, but fometimes ouzy and foft : Alio you may run a-(hore upon the Ouze, and lave a Ship without Anchor or Cable. Kilduyn \(lar\d lies extended along (hore 2 Ls.W.N.W. and E.S.E. the Channel between is about half a L. broad Ibme- times narrower, but very deep, and clear Ground. About the Middle, or near eft the E. end, is a good Road and a Bay, be- tween two Points lying out toward the Land : There are forac Laplanders Tents or Houlcs there, and you may anchor be- fore them in 12 or 14 Fa. landy Ground, but towards the S.E. it is very deep. If you would anchor under Kildiiyn^ coming from the northward, run between the Ifland and the Main at the W, end ; and being within, you will fee a little round Ifland ; there the Chaimel is narrowcft, but broad enough to turn in : Go on S.E. till you come between the two Points, and anchor on the E. fide, as before. If you come in at the E. end of the Ifland, anchor under the Houlcs, as before. There is a good watering Place at Kilduyn \ the Water runs from lb high a place, and with fuch a dclccnt, that you may in to nil ir N fiJi: ot It ; but the Jarge one only is inhabited : It is about :; I Miles long, lies a Mile from the Main, with very deep Wa- ter between. There is on each fide the Ifiand N. and S. a deep Bay ; they come ib near to one another in the middle of the Ifiand, that rhty almoft part it in two; not above a Stone's-cafi: of Land bciiji; between. There is a Caftle with a fmail Town near the Sea fide on the E. fide of the S. Bay : There is good Riding in the S. Hay, but better between the Ifiand and the Main. You may iafcly run quite thro* between the Ifiand and the Main, only run fomewhat ncarcft to the Rock call'd 7Jie/ho/Wt where the Gallows is, bccanic there the Ifiand is foul. About a Gunlhot N. lie the other 2 Ifiands very near toge- ther, not a Mile long, but very high and rocky, with 2 or 3 Rocks by them above Water.

If you are obliged to go into any of thole Harbours, you would do well to make a Signal to a Fiih- triuan, who will come off and pilot you in. A'^. B. There arc, *tis true, no Inhabitants here, (Fifhermen or others) in the Winter ; but then 'tis alio true, that here are no Ships to (land in need of thcra at that time of year, the Sea being all full of Ice, Kegcr is a Haven at the N.W. end of Fijhet^% Tfuind\ a lit- tle without the N. Point of the Harbour, lie 2 or 3 Rocks ; alio m the midfi of the Harbour's Mouth is a liinkeu Rock, leave that and the other Rocks on the Starboard-fide, and run hv thcS. Shore : then edge behind the Rocks, and anchor in -Or s Fa. Here is as good lying as in any Harbour on the toalt of Lapland: The Harbour's Mouth goes in S.W. A' B. Altho this is commonly call'd Fijf?cr's Ijland^ yet It i.s not ablblutely an Ifiand, being joyned to the main by a Ned; of Land: but it is fo narrow and low, that the Ruljidus going that way can haul their Boats over It.

About the Middle, or neareft the E. end, is a good Road and a Bay, be- tween two Points lying out toward the Land : There are forac Laplanders Tents or Houlcs there, and you may anchor be- fore them in 12 or 14 Fa. landy Ground, but towards theS.E. it is very deep. If you would anchor under KHdityu^ coming from the northward, run between the Ifland and the Main at the W, end ; and being within, you will fee a little round Ifland ; there the Channel is narrowed, but broad enough to turn in : Go on S.E. till you come between the two Points, and anchor on the E. fide, as before. If you come in at the E. end of the Ifland, anchor under the Houies, as before. There is a good watering Place at Kildtiyn \ the Water runs from fo high a place, and with fuch a delcent, that you may keep the Cask in the Boat, and make the Water run in to fill it. At the E. end oi Kildtiyn y upon a Point call'd Sac'rifce Tcint, there is a Fifliers Village callM Kammon. From Kildtiyn to Tiry Biry the Courfe is S.E. diflance 6 Ls, between them is a great Bay, in which about a L. from Ktl- dnyn there is a high Ifland call'd Olio ric : Behind the S. end of it, under the Main, there is a good River that will hold three or four Ships very well : On the Main is a Hummock higher than the reft, and upon it are two CroflTes one above another : To the northward of it is a flat Point, and thwart it lie fome Rocks along fliore, which are covered at high Water ; one of them is almoft even with the Water, it may be known by the Sea breaking upon it. If you would go in here to anchor be- hind the Rocks, get a Pilot if poflible ; and if none comes ofT to you, do not venture, but go on for Tiry Biry or Kilduyn^ as the Winds prefent, for it is very hazardous. Tiry Biry is a Point at the Mouth of a very large and deep River : Ships of any burden may go up, and anchor in good fandy Ground : It lies in, firft South, and afterwards more wefterly, the caflmoft Point lies out more to Sea than the other, and makes a Bay to the eafliward of it, where Ships may anchor for a N.W. Wind : This is call'd Tiry Biry Toint, Two Ls. to the fouthward of Tiry Biry is a great fandy Bay caird IFaranin \ it is narrow at the Mouth, but fpreads into a broad Sound within. In this Sound, as alfo in the River of Tiry Biry, there is good Salmon fifliing: This Bay is clean and good anchoring. There are three little Iflands without the Mouth of the Harbour, but the Road is within them. To the eaftward of Tiry Biry 4 or 5 Ls. is a Tide Harbour call'd Gabriel : You may go over on Foot at low Water, but it rifes 1 2 Foot on the Flood : There are three little Iflands in the Harbour's Mouth, the highcft on the S. fide, and the two loweft on the N. fide. When you Sail in, run neareft the Ibuih- if ^ ■ 48 DireHms for Sailing from louthmort ; and being got in, edge to the northward behind the two northmoft, and anchor on the N. fide of the Harbour, where you have 7 or f.

Vgu have no Icls than four leveral Channels, by which you may I'ail into this River ; therefore if you are to go in here, you will find it proper to take a Pilot. Between the fourth and fifth Illand is a pretty good Channel : If ar going in, to the lourliward you meet with a N E. by E. or S.F.

There are no Ports or Roads, or lo much as a Point to fliclter any Ship under, between Savona and Genoa : The City of Genoa lies N.E. from Cape de Melk\ dift. 20 Ls. The Current dill runs here drong to the wedward, and 'tis ve- ry hard to gcu out of the Bay with the Wind at E. or S.E. Therefore it you are bound in. keep to the c;:dward as much as you can, till you come od' of the Port. Gema is a large Harbour within a Mole, the Heads run- ning far out into the Sea On the cadermod Point or Head of the Mole is a Light-houfe Tower, or as the Gcnoef'- call it a Lantborn : the W.

The Head on which the Light-houlc dands is a Point of Land, all Rocks and foul a little wayofl"; there- fore you mud give it a fmall Birth as you go in ; the Entrance It lelf is clean and Water enough : when you arc in, you ride Iccurc, with two Anchors olFin the Harbour, and two Cables a-lhorc.

When you come the Length of Govtovui^ you will ma.ke the Mountain of Leghorn, or Mount Nc^ro^ by vvliich you know your Courle, and keep it in view all the way : it hcs a little to the caft ward of the City ; but at Sea, clpccially as you come from Caj^e dc Mcllc^ it is fcen juft over or behind it. There is a high Land upon G'(?r(,^9/M', with a Callle upon it, which is the Sea-mark for your Couric : Bring this Cafllc to bear E.N.E, and and W.S.W. and you go ri^ht with the Roc.v upon the Malo- ra^ and with the Port of Lvghcni. When you come nearer to Le'TboiU, yon will fee (in the CourfejullmcnrionM) aRock inthcSea, with a little Tower up- on it, call'd the Malora, built tor a Mark to the Port ; it is plac'd on the Pomt of a longRifFor Bank of Sand, call'd alio the Malcra^ which runs out from the Shore N by W. from Leg- hom^ and N.W. from the Mouth of the River y// /.■(? ; and flretching S. and S. by E. and S. E. in length above 5 miles, lies io ihoal, that no Ships can go over it : io that the Sea within is like a Bay : and this is the Sand, which breaking the Force of the Sea on the N.W. makes the Road of Leghorn, which is by that means an admirable ^xiz Harbour, with very good Anchoiing, in any Depth of Water from 3 to 1 5 Fa. Incurring this Road you need no Pilot, nor have you any thing to do but to keep the Rock upon the Malcra on your Larboard fide, giving it a Birth of about half a mile ; then run with it into the Road, and anchor as you think fit ; there's all a clear Sound within, with good Shoalings. S. of the City ftands a great Lighr-houle, being a high Stone Tower built in the Water, and lo far out, that imall Vcilels may go between it and the Shore ; andibmc iail that way to the Haven. Here is a Light always kept in the Night, to guide Ships into the Road, that they may go clear ot the Mw /&;v? Sand ; the Couric is from Gorgona N.E by E. the ^l/j- lora and the Light-houlc bearing E. and W. half eaftcrly and half weftcrly, the PafTage between about 3 1 miles. To the N. of the Mcle-hcad are 4 Scone Towers, built alio in the Water, as the Li^ht houlc is ; they call them Warch- Towers, but keep no Watch in them ; yet they arc good Marks to pilot the Ships which go into the Mole : the out- crmoft, which they call the -Pondcr Toivcr, is the largcft, and lies due N. from the Poea, or Mouth o'i the Mole. You may run into the Road in what Depth you pleafe, the Malord Sand having very good Shoalings from 10 la. to 1 ; the Sand is ieen by the Breach of the Sea upon it, almoft as 63 to^n of ^ ^^■^Jl'^'^Jl ''^ ''^y '-''T ^ ^^ ^^''^^ there is no danger of any kind. 1 I is thcCalc on the other fklc from C\ipc MiJ/r. i'orfofj'//() has a Haven for Ships of a middhrg fi/.c ; the rntraiicc is narrow, and it has a Light-houlc on the W.

The Coart is foul all about Cape bin, and is dangerous ; fo tliat you Ihould be careful not to anchor there, if it can be a- voidcd. If you would go into the Haven, keep by the W. Point, and you need no Pilot, or any iarther Inftrudtions, only to an- chor before the Town in 6 to 7 Fa. but go not up beyond the Town, for thcreyou will hazard running a-ground. This Haven, tho fmall,has liich an excellent Situation, that no Wind can hurt you, if you ride in the rigjit place bctbrc the Town. N. of the Point is a little Bay, nnd towards the bottom of the Bay lies the populous Viliai;e of St. Ropollo, where is Liood anclionng jutl bctorc it : You will know this Bay at a great diftance by a high Mountain, which looks off at Sea like an Kland, but as you come nearer Ihews it lelf to be part of the Alain. From hence the Shore dif?crs again ; and as the other was all a clean Sand, with no Points or Roads, this part of the Coall is full of them all the way to -Porto Sjh'Zii^ or Spccia, which lies E. S.E. from "Porto- Fino 11 Es. This is another iate Port, where (when you are in) no Wind can hurt you ; yet bccauic there are many Anchorings and Points within the Port and Ikiy, you Ihould call for a Pilot. 'i\r:o Spcci:! IS at the Bottom of a deep Gulph. which goes in N. N.W. and S.S.E. In the Entrarce is a little Ifland, or \o,X'2f^ Rock rather, with a I ighc-houic upon it very high : it lies near the W.

On the other fide the Fair Way is ;-ood, and makes a deep and clear Channel ; and you have 10 I a Water dole under the Shore. After you arc thro' the na; owcit of the Ijitrancc, the Bay widens to more than - Ls. and on the N.W fide you have 2 linalier Bays,where Ships ride with thcgreatcli: Safety imagina- l)lc, under the Lee of a high Shore, and yet in very good hold- ing (iu)und , the Illand with the Tower alio breaking ofT the Sea, k) that it it Hiould blow hard into tho Bay, you ride very taly on that fide, clpecially if the Winds blow from any part oi the W. or ihe N. and on the other hand, if it blows from any Point to the caltward of the N. or due F'.. then they have very <'ood anclionng; under the K.

Small Ships go mto i\iz Mole it felf, and larger raay ; but the Road is lo good, they fcldom do : if they go in at any time, it is when chas'd in by Rovers and Pirates ;^and in fuch calcs great Ships have run in at all Hazard, but then Pilots come off immediately to bring them in. In the Mouth of the Haven, juft at the Ertrancc, lies a great Rock above Water, call'd the Moletta ; it looks like an Ifland, and has Icveral Rocks about it, efpecially on the N. fide towards the •Pc-^v/rr Tbx^r; but the Channel lies in on the S. fide, between the Rock and the Mole, and the Cannon of the Fort commands the Entrance, fo that no Enemy will venture in after you. A^. B. There are fome fmall Channels over the Malora Sand, which fmall Veflcls, and fuch as arc well acquainted, may go thro' ; but orcat Ships can not pafs them, they arc too narrow, as well as too ihoal.

To the eadward of Gallipoli is alfo a great Bay, but the City Hands on a Point, and the Land is cvcu and low, lo that (in a mannci) it is lower than the Water.

Between Gallipol'i and Marmora, that is, between the N. and S. main Land {t'ov AJarmora is au Iflaud} the Strcight is 5 Ls over. Marmora is a high and Ihort Clump of Land, being one great Rock of Marble ; it is the higheft Ifland lying ui tlic Gulph coming from the welhvard ; it appears in two Hills, having a little low Ifland to the northward, and with two or three other Iflands to the Iburhward : Thefc alio arc low, and not great. Sailing from the Cadles to Gallipoli, you may lee Marmora all the way ; and while you are to the wedward and northward oiGatlipoli, you may lee this City over it : \'ou may fail to the Ibuihward of Marmora between it and the low Illand, as mod do in the Winter, becaulc the Winds then com- monly blow at S. and S.E but in Summer and in good Weather, for the moft part they blow from the northward, between Marmora and Rodfjla.

Between this Ledge of Rocks and the Main to the fouth- ward, you may ride alnnft in all Winds ; but you mult fail to the wcllward of the Ledge of Rocks, for at the E. end it rcjches out with a Tail to the Main. Chcr-ngaind CallifcIK behind the aforefaid Ledge, lies a City caird Cnnwjuay^ cloic by the Water-fide on low Land, lb that ir is hardly fcen ; but iiaUtpoii lies fbmewhat higher : LJ[.ou a certain Point to the eaftward Ibnds a large Light-houle : Ovcr-ac,airfl rhat Light, and about a Gun fliotfrom the Shore, lies a lunk Rock, on which heretofore many Ships have ftruck and been loll.

When you would i'ail thence, ynu miirt remove with your Ships to y^/'/'r/zr/, that with a northerly Wind and the Sircani you may fail Irom the City of Coi/jldNtuuj'lc down on the Em ope an fide. Between the City of Coiiflantmoplc and the IHands that lie S. from the City, it is about a L. and a half broad; but tjic Land of Nato/ia Ibuthward lies diilant from the Ciiy 5 or 6 Ls. The Strcight of the BofphornSy and the Coafl of Thracia, begin ju(t at the Point oppofite to the City of Cciifianti'.oplc ; by which Strcight is the PalTage into the Eiixiiic or BLck Sea: But as the 'Turks permit no Ships but their own to go beyond the Port of Coiiftafit'moplc that way, none of our Pilots have been able to take any Survey of the Coaft on that fulj ; by which we lolc the Delcription of the Coall ot j-lfui as lar as Irapczoud^ and of Eurol>c as high as the Strciglus of i^.ria and the City ot /IJoph.

Pomt of the Bay (lands an old high built, but hr' -dano- liJhM Cadlc ; and beyond that above the Caftle, L,>on the Hills which arc very high, ftand the Rums of an old Watch- Tower : Alio to theeaftward of Tangier is another dcmolifli'd Watch-Tower. Thus you will know Tangier ix. any diflance, if in fight of Land. Being pals'd Tangier, change your Courfe from E. by S. to E. by N. if you are bound only thro' the Streights ; but if bound to the Coafl, keep on E. by S. from Tiz/i'^^/V;- x.o ylpes- hill, thcCourlc isEN.E. If you would fail thro' only, if it be in the nighr, 'tis bed to keep CO the Barbary fide, bccaufc there the Coaft is clean, and clear of Shoals or Ril^s ; but the other Coaft (as was de- icrib'd in its place) is foul and difficult.

The Breadth of the P Straits in this Place is meailircd at tbmething lefs than 7 Ls. I3 Cape Spartcl is the urmoft Angle of the Land of Africa t< N.W. as Cape Trafalgar is of fjuopc S.W. It is a long ex- ^ tended Promontory of Land, fliooting out far into the Sea, P and may be feen off at Sea near 10 Ls m clear Weather, tho the t^ Land it lelf is nor very high, d At the very Extremity of the Cape there lies a Rock, that tl breaking off the Violence of the Sea, which (the great Atlan- tick Ocean beating upon it) would othcrwilc be very raging, b leaves under its Lee to the S. of the I'oint, a very i'afc Road y with gord Anchoring, where you may ride in 12 to 13 Fa. o clean landy Ground, and well flicltcr'd from northerly and eaft- y crly Winds : But it muft be added, that you rauft lie ready to put to Sea, if the Wind veers to the Weft, and clpecially to the a fouthward of the W. othcrwilc you may be embay 'd, and on F a Lee Shore too : However, if you are nimble in taking the / firft Change of the Weather, you may with Eaic get out of i; tlic Road, and running round the Point take Shelter on the o- a thcr fide in Tangier Bay.

But at bcft there is no Depth of Water for any Ship? of Burden, lo the Haven is not of much importance; but Ships ride pretty well in the Road before the Mouth of tlic Ri\cr. Vou may know the Entrance into the Port, by the N. Point having Ionic Houfes upon it; 'tis a low flat Point, and the Hoiilc5, which ..rebut few, ftand dole together. From the N.

Here is a good Haven for Ships of indirtcrent Burden ; the Coall isllill low andfandy, but not lo clean as before, and which is worlc, 'tis without any Marks to guide you in, or to know it by : There arc Ibmc Towns on the Shore, but no Churches or Towers, or Steeples to guide the Manner in his Courlc.

The N. Side of the Haven looks like a Cape or Point, and the City fecms as if it Hood in an Illand off' in the Sea. Here is a very good Road bctbre the place, with good hard holding Ground, but a little too much Depth of Water, for you have 20 Fa. within a litrle mile of the Mouth of the Haven ; but then you have good gradual Shoalings to the Shore, for you come to i 5 and 10 Fa and have 5 Fa. within a Stone's Caft of the Shore : iJuc for the Realbns above, it is not prudent to let your Ship lie too near the Shore. Olf of the Harbour is a high broad Bank of Sand, which is not eaflly lecn at a diftance, tho it lies dry, bccaule the Coaft is in general low next the Water : As you lail by it to the Ibuth- ward, you will perceive it plainly. The Port is not cafily lecn as you go by, for the Opening of the Ciiannel lies to the louthward caftcrly, and the North Point or Bank of the River lies flat and low : But keep on, and as you come nearer the Shore, you will perceive a Mark let up to guide towards the Entrance of the Haven ; it is a high Pole or Mafl flaniling on the high Ground within the Caftlc oi Ma- mora, and looking towards the S.

S. by E from Sterrn Leon lies Cape S:.Annc, being the N.W. Point of the Ifland of St Anne. This Illand is a long narrow Slip of Land, ftrctching E. by S. and \V. by N. near So miles in length: the Channel between it and the Land is un- certain, and in Ibmc places has Water enough; but in a place which they call the 'Ptifs, there is a Bar quite over the PafTage, on which there is not above lo Foot at low Water: And as there is but very little Tide there, it cannot be 3 Fa. at high Water. In failing thro' here, you mull take a Pilot, and there arc Enj^lilh Pilots to be had at the Fadtory 'XX.Serraloon, This Pafl'age is call'd the Furno of St. Anne, from a Point snd Creek (with a Negro Town) on the Shore, call'd Furno. There arc abundance of Creeks and fmall Rivers, which fall in from the Shore in the Faring Way or PafTage : the larked are the Cinmbon^ the Madra Bomba.^ ''nd the Sberbere, or Sberbro Ri- ver, which is otherwile the River Cores. The River Gamboa is navigable for fmall Craft 30 to 40 mile up the Strcim, to an Indian Town call'd Rancho^ where the Trading with the Negroes is carry'd on. It would l^c needful to take a Pilot, if you would go up here ; you may have one at the Fadtory's Fioule upon St. Anne's JJiandy call'd Lcmhe? mans, or at Sberbro. The Madra Bomba is navigable alfo about ?o miles, and rlicic is ^Portnguefe Fadlory within it; but you mult take Pi- lots to go up If you come from the weftward on the ofTfidc of the Ifleof .S7. Anne., and arc bound into Sberbro, keep the two Points of the Harbour of Sberbro open to run in at, till they come into one, and the Harbour bears N.N.E. and N.E. and then you mcy go in without Fear : but if you doubt the Diredtion, or do not find it pradticable, as the Wind may ftand, make a Sig- nal, and the Fadtory will fend ofTa Pilot to afllftyou. The Ground in the Haven of Sberbro is very Ihifting and unccrnin : the Ihoalcfl: place is generally 2 7 to 3 Fa. but you would do well to found it firfl: with a Boar, and take a Pilot too. The Tide of Ebb runs lb fharp, and the Water falls fo Toon, that it is not advilablc to go in with an Ebb Tide : The Flood aUb runs verv ftrong, but then the Danger is rhc Icls • for if you Ihould toucl», you will be off again immediately. When you arc in, you may anchor where you pleafc ; but generally the Ships runup to the Mouth of the Madra Bomba which comes into the lame River, and where is the chief Place for Irading ; tho the Natives traffick upon both Shores, and the Ships may ride under the Laud on both Shores ; for the land is high, and the Depth of Water lufficicnt ; and with Fo( clp Scj Th anc the Slo do\ (am tW( J Lee Car bell lyii (jrc Sea bio 15 J Th^ yoi f raa isS yet Wn nia 16 1 Sto io\ Sea ibu wit I fur. wit Ca| oir \ St. the grc Tr( niu I cxa Vil any if t for the JVejicrn Coajis of Africa. \L\Si~}'fa Leon ambotis Riicr^ ir Sailors Sho- lec upon the us height, and the top ; 'tis a :h is very dirti- 'niie, being the Ibnd is a long by N. near So he Land is un- but in a place er the PafTige, Vater : And as e 3 Fa. at high 'ilot, and there ?rralooit. , from a Point ;, call'd Fnruo. ;, which fall in le largcll are the or Sherbro Ri- Craft 30 to 40 Rancho^ where .

Thcie is a Town call'd Choura 30 Ls up this River, where the Europeans find very good Trade ; aiui therefore their Sloops go up as lar as that Place, to load and brmg Slaves down to the Ships. The Cape is the eaflward Point of the River, and bears ihc fame Name (C'/7/>t' Mount) as 'tis lupposVI, bccauie there arc two very high Mounts dole to the Cape. There is a very good Road without the Capes, under the Lcc of the W. Point of the River : Keep the Point of the Cane bearing S. and S. by E. from you; there you have the bell of the Road, and may anchor in 6 to 9 Fa. The Cape lying to icawurd, breaks ofT the ibutherly Winds, and the (jroundis a good hard Sand : This is your Road \v\ Summer Sealon and iair Weather ; but when the Travcuiocs and Souths blow hard, 'tis bell to take more diftance, and ride in lo to 1 5 Fa. tor here goes a great Sea when thole Winds blow : Therefore bring the Pitch of the Cape due S liom you when you anchor. From Cape Mount to the River St. 'Paul, or Cape Mo?tJ<- rado^ which is the cafterraofl: Point of that River, the Couilc is S.E. by E. 12 Ls. The River St. 'Paul is but a tmall River ; yet in the rainy Months, which arc (rom May to OHober^ the Water is very high, and pretty large Vclfcls may go in. V'ou may anchor in the Mouth or Entrance of this River m 6 to 1 6 Fa. as near the Shore as you plcale. During thelc Months there are frequent Travadoes and Storms, and the Sea goes Mountains high cloic to the Shore, io that it is not without extreme Hazard that Ships bear the Sea ; and they find it very difficult alio to get about to the tbuthward. Nor is there any landing here in thole Months, without the utmoft danger of overiettiug. From the River of St 'Paul to Cape Monferado^ or Me- furado, the Land forms a little Bight, being tlat and grown with Trees : There is a good Road under the S. fulc of the Cape, where you may ride in 10 Fa. or withm the Cape in 7 Fa. bringing the Point to bear full S. from you, for it breaks olF the Sea, andiecurcs you from a Wind olF Sea. From this Cape the whole Country is a Wood or Fored to St. Mary's, and is call'd the Forejl of St. xMaifs ; ami tioni thence to Barracope 'tis very full of Trees, which are always green: The Courfe is S.E. by E dill. 7 Ls. Among the Trees are leveral Negro Towns, and lume Trade, but not much. From Barracope to the River Junk is 7 Ls, the lame Courfe cxadly, and the lame kaid of Coall, the Land full of Ne^^ro Villages and Clumps of Trees : \o\\ may wood and water any where upon all this Coall, if the Souths do not blow ; but if they do, there is no bearing the Surge of the Sea ijpnn i!i Sf. ,/;/;/', aiiSTarc boiiiui im6 ^slurDro^ kCTp the two roincsot" the HJibour of Sherbro open to run in at, till they come into one, and the Harbour bears N.iVE. and N.E. and then you nu-y go in witliout Fear : but if you doubt the Dircdlion, or do not find it pradicabic, as the Wind may (land, make a Sii^- n.il, and the Fadory will feud off a Pilot to afTiftyou. The Ground in the Haven of Sherbro is very ihifting and uncertain : the Ihoalcd place is gcncrdly 2 7 to 3 Fa. but you would do well to found it firft with a Boat, and take a Pilot too. The Tide of Ebb runs lb fliarp, and the Water fails fo foon, that it is not advilablc to go in with an Ebb Tide : The Flood alfo runs very ftrong, but then the Danger is the Icls \ for if you ihould touch, you will be off again immediately. When you arc in, you may anchor where you plcalc ; but generally the Ships runup to the Mouth of the Madra Bomba^ which comes into the fame River, and where is the chief Place for Trading ; tho the Natives traffick upon both Shores, and the Ships may ride under the Laud on both Shores ; for the Land is high, and the Depth of Water iiifficient ; and with Sloop* and Boati you may go tradingupthe River a great way on both fides. A' B. A S.E. by S. and an E.S.E. Moon makes full Sea at Sierra Leon, and an E. by S. does the fame at Sherbro. N. B. If the Negroes here will rraffick with you, they will make a great Smoke upon the Shore to invite your Sloops to anchor there; intimating that you may ride there, and come on ihore : but 'tis bcft to Ibund the Depth and be- lieve your Lead, rather than truft to them, lor they arc often treacherous and always ignorant. You may have plenty of all neceffary Refrelhments and Provifions here, cfpccially Rice : and the Navigation is the more nlclul to be known, that the Sloops may go up from the Ships to letch thole Provifions. As the fhorc now falls of? to the E. the Courfe upon all this Coaft alters very much. From the River of Sherbro, and the Iflandof J/*. An'/je to C^J'e Mount is 14 Ls, the Courle E. and E. by S. Between thcfc Capes are fcvcral fmall Rivers which come in- to the Sea ; and lome of them are navigable for fmall VcfTcls, Boats aiiJ Sloops, luch as the Gallinas, the Non, the Talmas^ and the Monos or Mouti\ the S.E. Point of which is ordinarily call'd by us Cape Mount. Here begins that which the Sailors call the Grain Coajl. If you would anchor before Cape Mount ^ you may come as near the Shore as 6 Fa. as your convenience tor wooding and watering may require : but then you mud take care that it be when the Souths (as they call them) do not blow ; but if it be the Seafon for thofe Winds, they make a great Sea, and you mud keep farther off, at leaft in 13 to 14 Fa. the Point of the Cape bearing S.S.E. from you.

From the River of St 'Paul to Cape Monfcrado^ or Mc- furado, the Land forms a little Bight, bemg flat and grown with Trees : There is a good Road under the S. fide of the Cape, where you may ride in lo Fa. or within the Cape m 7 Ka. bringing the Point to bear full S. from you, for it breaks oir the Sea, andlccures you from a Wind off Sea. From this Cape the whole Country is a Wood or Foreft to 5^ Marys, and is calPd the forvli of St. Ma>y\( ; and fioni thence to Barracopc 'tis very full of Trees, which arc always green: The Courfc is S.E.byF. dill. 7 Ls. Among the Trees arc Icvcral Ncj^ro Towns, and lome Trade, but not much. From Barracopc to the River Junk is 7 Is, the lame Courfe cxadly, and the lame kind of Coaft , the Land full of Mc^ro Villages and Clumps of Trees : \'ou may wood and water any where upon all this Coaft, if the Souths do not blow ; but if they do, there is no bearing the Surge of the Sea upon the Shore. If you would anchor before this River, you may ride caly in 12 Fa. the Mouth of the River bearint^ N.E from you ; and then the Indraft of the River a little abates the Swell of the Sea. This River ^unk is a furious Current, by reafon of its com- ing from a mountainous Country : For which realon there is little Trade or Navigation in it, nor is there above S Foot Wa- ter in it. On the S. Point arc (bmc Groves of Trees, and beyond them within the Land are three high Mountains which arc Iccn a great way at Sea : Make the middle Mountain of the three right a-head, and keep it there, and you may anchor in good Ground in 1 1 to 13 Fa. or keep a Grove of high Trees, w'hich ftand E.S.E. from the River, bearing due S. from you, there you may anchor in 10 Fa. fair riding. From ihc Junk to the River Scjiors is 1 8 to 20 Ls, the Couric S.E. by S. There arc no Rocks on all this Coall before you come to the Juuk: But 2 Ls. to the E. of the Trees mcntion'd before, lie feveral Rocks, Ibmc half a Mile, lome a quarter from the Shore. On all the Coall fiom the Junk to the Sejiors, you may anchor in the open Sea near the Shore, in 16 to 20 Fa. Between the Junk and the Sejlors lies the River St. Joha^ S.E. by E. from the Junk^ dift. 1 1 to 1 2 Ls. There is a Riir 2 Ls from the Junk, which runs off 3 Mile into the Sea ; but you have 5 to 6 Fa. upon it, 16 that it is not dangerous. You may ride in the very Mouth of the St. John, in 10 Fa. good holding Ground. Here arc feveral Rocks on this Shore, which lie lome under Water, fome above : Give the Land a good Birth. Here you will fee a Mountain within the Land, which makes at Sea like a Bow. Here is a Tradine Place calPd Tabce Canci\ w here many Negroes live : And here begins the firfl Land of the Country call'd the Gram Coajt. Here the Rocks Iccm to ccalc, and Sailing Directions for the W and the LauJ begins to appear low and plain, which reaches to the River Sefiors ; but there is no good anchor-ground, 'tis a foul Strand, ftouy at bottom, and very uneven ; The Land is all covered with Trees, and Icems to be full of Inhabitants, (AV(/AYA'.f) To that here is much Traffick. If you arc bound caftward, 'tis a bold Coaft, and you may run all along under Shore in 23 to 25 Fa. and have good Ground there, tho it is Ibul nearer the Main. The Mouth oi the Sejlors is known by a high round Mountain in the middle of a plain low Country up within the Land, but lecn a great way at Sea : U you would anchor at the Mouth of the River, bring the round Mountain E. half S. Ironi you, there you may ride in 12 Fa. There is a Ledge of Rock, lying to the caftward of the River's Mouth, which ilioors out a L into the Sea, and mud be avoided. Alio at the Entrance into the River lies a Rock, but above Water and plain to be Icen ; you leave it on the Starboard fide as you go in. JSl.H. Vou cannot go far into this River with your Ship, on- ly with Shallops and Irnall Boats ; the Ships 20 about 3 Ls. Weft of the SHhrs i L is a Ledge of Rocks, with a great Flat running out 2 Ls from the Shore ; but you run over it in 8 to y Fa. and Ibuthcrly from the Sijiors is a great Riff which runs iS.W. from the Shore 2 Ls into the Sea. The River has a flrong Current, but not raging ; the Channel being deep makes the Water dill : The Ships that go in, anchor at the King^s N. A'. If you ride ofT here in the open Sea, you mud ob- lerve your Times for going on Shore thus : Go on Shore in the Afternoon with the Sea-breeze, and come off the next Mori.ing with the Land-breeze. A', yy. There are two Channels to go into this River ; but venture not in without a Pilot. The E. Point of the Entrance into the River Sejiors, or Srj/os, is caird CaJ>c' Baxos, or the Loiu Cafe. E. of this Cape lie many dangerous Rocks, Icvcral of them under Water : 1 hey arc lb much in the Fair Way of the trading Ships on tins Coad, that ignorant People run great hazard in failing near them. Farther E. 2 Ls from the River Scflos, is the Ifland Talmas, caird ib from an exceeding large Palm Tree which ftands fiiigly upon it, and is a Sea Mark to know it by. it is an lllaiid, but there is no paHing between it and the Main. In failing along all this Coad, you mud not come nearer the Land than 2c Fa. all the Ground within 16 Fa. being foul; and if you arc in a great Ship, come no nearer than 30 Fa. Bctv\ccn the Ifland of '■palwas and Ca/^e Formofa lie two great Rocks call'd the Cai^ados ; and from them lies a great Ritf to Icaward, which is the rcalbn why you Ihould keep out in ^c Fa. \Jn\\Qx Fojninfa lies the River Sarrji'in^ or Sangttin^ as our Pilots ignoranriy call it ; You may anchor in 23 to 25 Fa. but the Ground is rocky, and not very good for anchor-hold.

The Tides and Currents run very fliarp, as you approach the narrow Strait of Babclmandtl : you mull be \ cry cautious here, for thcfc Currents letting hard into the Bays and Gulphs on the Shore ; if you miftake any of thole Bays for the Strait, you are on Shore without Remedy. A 'Dutch Ship was lately loft io in a Httle Bay on the S. Hdc of the Babbs. Oblcrve alio, it" a Ship is loft on the Shore, the Arabians have no more Mercy than the Canibals of Callabar. N. B.

N. B. Aden lies \6 Ls farther within the Gulph, than -.my of our Pilot-Books place it : 'tis alio a general millakc, which many of our People have, that tlie Straits arc the Entrance into the Gulph, for that the Red Sea or Arahiau Gulph begins far without the Klaiui ot Baael/naiulel, and without the Port of Aden it iclf A .

There are no certain Tides upon this Coaft, yet ibmetimes the Water will rile and fall 7 or 8 Foot. Ge- nerally the Water flows as the Winds blow, and change their Courlc with the Monfjons. N. B. Sometimes upon Full and Ch:'nge, the Waters for 3 or 4 Days will run ftrong to windward. If you are upon this Coaft labouring to get to the caftward with an eafterly Movfoou. be not atraid to keep the Shore aboard, when the Water thus prcfTes againft the Wind; but watch the Occafion, and keep along under Shore for the Ad- vantage of the Current at thole times : And by this Help skilful Stecrfmen have gain'd the Height oilhcGulphofTcrfia, and iavcd their Pafiagc, when othcrwifc they muft have lain by at all Hazards, or have run back none, knows whither.

Before you come to Mufcat, about 1 2 Ls fliort, arc two Hills which make like Afs's Ears^ and they are cill'd fo by the Seamen : After you pafs thole Ears^^ow open ihc Towers and Walls on the Tops of the Hdls at Mufcat^ which you Ice between the broken CiifTs of the Point before you ; alio you m.ike an Ifland which lies off iliore, a little to the northward of the Harbour of Mufcat. This is a terrible Shore too for the Sailors : For in fbrac places you have no Bottom within half Muskctihot of the Shore, and yet no Harbour or Port ro run into in calc of a Wind ofT Sea ; lb that if you chance to be upon the Coafl: when it is a a Lee fliorc, your Anchors and Cables arc of no ufe, and yon muft ftrctch ofT to Sea on one Hand or other, or you will be inevitably loft. When you make the Mouth of the Port of Mufcat^ if you intend to anchor in the Entrance, and not go within the Har- bour, keep to the Ibuthward fide, there you will have 1 5 Fa. hard Sand. A^ B. The Variation of the Compafs in this Port is 10 Dcg. 35 Min. Weft. This Port is cali'd the Key of the PcrHan Giilph ; but as the Navigation is chiefly carried on by Arabian Pirates and Ro- vers, they cither take no Survey of the Coaft, and lb keep up no Sea Marks or Dirccftions for failing ; or they communi- cate none to the Europeans. The Port is good, but as the Country is mountainous, (for the Hills and Rocks hang over the very Houfcs in a frightful manner) lb theGufts of Wind which come off from thole Hills arc dangerous, and Ibmc- limcs as frightful to the Marines as the Rocks themlclvcs, many of which lie under Water dole to the Shore. But the danger of this Port is ss much from the Treachery of the Arabs as from the Storms and Rocks of the Coafts ; tor they are not only Pirates and Thieves, b ;r Cheats in eve- ry thing wherein you can deal with them. They are good Pilots for the Gulph, tho not to be truftcd, and e valued by all but the 'Eortuguefe^ betwixt whom and them are there is liich an ANcrfion, ih^l ^Tortngutjc Commander dare not truft his Ship with one of their Pilots ; and the i'nnti^iitfc have of iatclo tcrrily'd them, that they hardly dare look out to Sea. The Anchorage about this Port is very dangerous, lying f(i near the Rocks ^"d the Water lo very deep ; and even in the Road it is little better: The Mole or Bafin is indeed late, but is a Cove rather than a Mole: In a word, 'tis a Road no body goes to, but thofc that aic oblig'd to it by Bufincls or Dillrcls. From Sailing DirecJions for the Coa prom Mufidt the Land trends away up towards the Gulph, roc To mountainous as before, but a dcfart wild Coaft, few 1 owns, not one River or Harbour for a great way; nor have \vc been able to obtain any exad; Account of the Soundings upon the Sliore, or any Survey of the Coaft. Mitjcat is a good Port on many Accounts, efpecially com- pared with the Coaft mentiouM above. T\^tMoL\ as it is call'd, is able to receive 50 to 6a fail of ftout Ships : 'Tis a ftrangc Coaft tor depth ; tor within a Mile of the Mouth of the Port there is no Ground, within half a Mile 35 Fa. and in the Harbour 3 and half, and 3 Fa. clean Sand. It is known by lorae Iflands which lie 2 Ls to the N.W. as alio by Watch- Towcrs and little Forts upon the Rocks ; thofe Rocks arc Mdck, as arc all the Rocks which the Country is full of; f,r on the Sea Coaft for above 40 Ls there is neither Tree, Buih, or Shrub, nor any Land-Mark to guide Sailors by. Mufcat\^)vSi under the Tropick, inLat. 23 and half, N. From hence, I lay, the Coaft of Arabia is not iiirvey'd farther on that fide, nor is there any Courfe for Shipping cmployM by the Kuropcdus on that fide, to the Entrance of the Gulph : If you are bound to the Gulph of 'Ptrfia^ you rauft keep the Shore on board as long as you can, and ftand then over to the eaftward for the Indian Shore, or iQiT>iii Head on the Coaft ot Guzurat. From '/)/// Head your bcft Courfe for the Gulph is firft N.W. by N. to Cape Goad-^'cll in 2 5 d. 40 m. N. and from the Meridian oi'Dtne. 10. or thereabouts. In this Courfe you crols the Tropick, 'Din Head being in Laf. 20. d 40. m. If you meet with variable Winds in thisPaftage at W.N.W. and N.N.W. or thereabouts, yciur bcft way is to ftand in for the Shore, and ply it up by help of the Land Breezes which you will have in the night, and alfo a Current which lets into the Gulph : Only do not ftand too near the Shore in the night, left being deceived by the low Lands, you run on Shore, when you think you have given the Land birth enough. From Cape Goad-jL-ell the Courlc is W. by N. to the Point of "jalijues, the Variation of the Compafs being allow'd : The i.. Point of the Road lies in Lat. 25. 30 N. low Land, and not cafy to be feeii at a diftance, or to be knonn when it is Iccn. About 8 Ls ftiort of it, there is a very great round Mountain call'd de Eho-jjers, with a Swamp and Trees on the Middle of it very fingular : This will guide you to the Coaft, for 'tis lecn all the way, but it ftands within the Land. There is a 'Fa^^ode, or little Idol houfe on the E. Point of the Bay ; and on the Cape ir (elf u a white Iquare Rock like a Tomb-ftone, but it is not fecu as you ride in the Road. You may run right into the Road, and anchor in 4 to 5 Fa. off of the low Point, or when a Gap in the doubling of the Land bears N N.E. then the E.

From ^Pantan there runs a Shoal off from the Shore, which reaches to Cochin ; but as it is no where above a L wide, the Ships ride very well without it, cipccially at Crnnmuicra, where they ride in 5 to 6 Fa. within a mile of the Shoal. This Shoal ends in a large round Riff of Sand, juft on the N. fide of rhc Entrance into Cochin \ and tho the RilThas 5 to 9 Fa. on ir, in one part gradually Ihoaling to 3 Fa. and then becoming dry towards the Shore, yet it makes an excellent Harbour at Cochin, for within the Channel you ride dole un- der the S. fide of the Rilfin 6 to 7 Fa. within 2 miles of the Town. It you would anchor in this Harbour, brine the Town to b.ar E.N.K. or N.E. by E. from you, or bring the Wmdmil on the Shore, and the FlagftafTon the Fort fliut nito one, and rhen you are in the beft Anchoring-place, where you have good ou/y Sand, and 7 Fa. to 7 \ Water. When yi u open the River from the N. the City or Town mikes a very handlbm Appearance, and the River Iccms capa- ble of great Ships ; but the Channel is uncertain and ihoaly, 10 that you mult not run up any farther than 6 Fa. as above.

To llccr this Courlc you muft iail from the Cape S.S.E. till you come into l.at 3-7. S. and this is needful, that you may meet with wcHerly Wnids, which you arc more likely to do in that Courlc tiian by the other way, and for want oi" which many Ships have loll their railage. When you come into Lat. 37 d. S. (liape your Courlc E. or thereabouts, and keep it fo till you have made about 61 to 62 d.

Being in rliat Latitude, go on ftiU N.N.E. cafterly, till you have by an exact Reckoning only 1 5 d. S. Lat. and 72 or at lead 71 d. Longit. from the Cape. Then ftcer due N. till you crofs the Line; and continue your Courfe till you come into 7 d. N.

From Columbo you muft fteer N. W. to get fight of Cafe Comareen^ which lies in Lat. 7 d. 45 m. N. The Cape is to be known at a great diftance by Icveral high Mountains to the N.E. of it : the Pitch of the Point it felf is very low Land. As you come near it, you ought to look out for two Rocks which lie juft at the S.W. part of the faid Cafe: you may alio know this Cape by a fingle high Mountain which is right over it, and under which ftauds a great Range of Trees of an c- qual height. You may fometimes find it difficult to double Cape Comureen, i ho you have it clofe aboard, by rcafon of a Wind and Current that always fets to the fouthward there : But you muft take the Opportunity, when the Winds as well as the Currents arc not againft you, and anchor from 3 5 to ^o Fa, until Night, when the Wind will come about to the E. anJ E.

If Ships of great burden were thus flridly attended with two Shallops, I dare affirm there is much lels danger in entring the River thro' the AV-^ IJephs than over the Braces ; nor need they fear ever coming into lefs than 4 Fa. at low Water upon the Sprmgs ; only if the Night or want of Wind happens^, it may occafion their anchoring when they come a little ihort of the Sagor^ or between the Imall Middle Ground zx\d. the Long Sand, which cannot belaid of cither of the other Entrances in- to the River.

The Salt'ii'ater River, in the Mouth of which this Ifland lies, is navigable far up for Ships of the greateft burden ; but on the Larboard-fide going in, lies a Ledge of Rocks about a Pillol fliot from theShorc, dry at low Water; and if you have need, you may keep them clofc on board, without danger; but Handing over to the eaflward, you will have 4 Fa.

Neither mult you depend upon your Charts for your Courfe to the Ifland LuKfUin^ which is laid down by them to Hand io far wefterly, that in a dark Night if you work by your Book, you will certainly go on Shore ; the lurcll way is, when you are paft Banca^ to heave the Lead conftanrly, keep- ing offin I 2 Fa. till you come to 'Fulo'Parra^ and from thence in 18 Fa.

The wdlcrmofl Point oi Cyprus is call'd CapcT'tfani^ ^yJng N.W. from Hnfj'a about 4 Ls : From that to the northermoll Point, Cipr Cnrvmcc'i, is 16 Ls. N. B.

Midway be- tween them lies Cnpe Blanco, an eminent high Cape, and well known ; it !S a round Cape, and makes at firtt in three white Chti's hke Chalk. Cape dc Gat is low and flat, and Iccn buc a little way. Oil of the Haven of Baffa about i L from the Cape eaft- ward, anil about a L from the Main of the Ifland, lies a RifT or Ledge of Rocks : You may go in either to the E. orW. of them, but the E. PafTagc is the taircft. You may ride before Baffa in 6 to 8 Fa. keeping by the Main, to avoid the faid R(icks : 'Tis a good Flarbour in moft Winds. The Winds here, like the Sea and Land Breezes in other Countrys, blow off Shore frcfh in the Mornings, grow calm with a S. Sun, and blow frcfh oiT Sea towards Evening, and rhen calm again before the Aforning.

Oppofitc to the N. Coaft oi Cyfrus lies the Coafl: oiCtlicia, the Port oiSta/ja, and the antieut City of yhitiochia : But tho this Coaft is full of Rivers and Bays, and forae confiderable Ports, yet as the Europeans have little or no Commerce with the Country, fo they have no Survey of the Coaft ; nor have we any knowledge of the Soundings, or of the proper places for the Ships to ride in, till we come to the Coaft of Sjvm^ and the Gnlj>b of Scandcroon : And therefore we can cmec into no Defcription of it. From Ca/>c Grega in Cyprus to the S. Point of the Bay of Scandcroon {cdL\\'f\ formerly Alexandrcttd) the Courie is N.E. dift. 37 Ls, and from Cape St. Aiidrezj 2 1 Ls. This S. Point of the Bay is call'd Cape deTorcos^ a hij^h fteep Point ; it makes at Sea in three ftecp Hills. There' is another Cape a little to the fouthward, which makes at a diftance like the Snout of a Hog ; and from thence the whole Point was call'd Caho de Torcas. The well marking this Point may prevent your falling into a Miftake which many have committed, of running into the Bay of Ant'iQchla inftead of Scanderoon. To the N. of this Cape goes in the Bay of Scandcroon : To know this Bay, and prevent the Miftake above, you muft take Ipecial notice of the N. fide of the Bay, which differs remark- ably from that of Antiochia^ the Hills on the Shore differing extremely : Scandcroon itfclf is known by two white Caftlcs, one antient and in Ruins, the other new built ; the Road is fair and good, and without difficulty ; yet 'tis lafeft for thofe who are unacquainted to take a Pilot, as well for faihng into the Bjy, as for chufing the beft of the Road. A^ B. This is a different Place from the antient City of Antioch'ta meution'd above, which ftandson the N. Coaft of the Country of Cilicia, now call'd Caramanta. Coming from Cyprus, and being bound to Tripol':^ the Courfe from Cape St. Grega is S.S.E. foutherly, dift. 3 2 Ls. In thisCourlc alfo great Notice muft be taken, and Allowance made for the Current, which all along the E. Coaft of the Levant runs very ftrong, and with an unulual force to the northward ; and therefore in failing ixovnCape Grega you muft keep pretty much to the fouthward ; tho the Port of Tripcli really is by fituation three Poinrs more to the northward, niz, E.S.H. for if you do not borrow or the S. you will run i\\z hazard of lofing your PalTagc, as the Seamen call it, and be- ing forced up to the northward, which it will be very di/Iicult to' recover.

C'lpc Bonavijia or Port BonH-jiJia are different places, and jie S.W. and N.E. 5 Miles from one another, rather more : if you are bound to the Port, your Courfe is from Gull IJland^ and the Cape, leaving the Ifland on the W. fide towards the Main, the Channel between being both narrow and foul : But h'^twccn Gyc/i JJland Qnd Stoi/e JJland you may go without Danger with a Ship of any Burden, the Channel being lafe, and the Sliore bold ; or you may go without Sto;/e IJland to the Welhvard, and (o run out S.W. till you open the Harbour of Boiiavilla fair in view, and till you are paft a Head of Land called Mo/iw^s Point : then you are to the fouthward of the Rocks called the Sz:.Tcrs, w here yoU may ride in 5 to 1 1 Fa. but vou cannot go to the northward of them.

Some Pilots of good Judgment dif?er as well in their Lar. as in their Situation with relpecit to the Land: for example, Ibme inHn: they are but in Lat. 46 d. and lay they have taken an exadt Oblervation of it ; and that they are fituate at the dill, of i ; to 1 8 Ls S.E. by E. from Cape Ballard. In this Uncertainty we can only lay down the difTering Opi- nions, and leave it to every Man's Judgment to uircd. them. From Cape Race, to follow the Coall to the W. the firft place we meet with is Mijlakiu 'Ro'iiit, called lo, becauie when Sailors firfl: make the Illand of Ncivfoniidlund from the Ibuth- ward, this Point is often millaken for dapr Race : it is did, from the true Cape Ruce about 2 Ls, the Couric to it is W.N.W, Five Ls Irom this Point in the lameCourle is the Entrance into the Harbour of TiepaJ]i\ the eaftwaid Point is called Toziles : there is a deep Bay on the back of the Point caftward called 'Po-n-les, and a high Ridge of Beach between that and the Road ; i'o that in the Offing'youiee the Malts of the Ships over the top of the Beach as they ride in the Road. It is good Riding when, you are in, but 'tis a very dangerous Place to be imbay'd in ; for the Sea comes in fometimes Mountains high as the Winds may be, and no Current to help you our. But if you are bound in for TrcpaJJi, ftand over W. towards Cape'Pine, till you lee the Harbour tair open; and then run right in N. by E. according as you have the Wind Cape 'Rnie is a bold Shore, and lafe : you may keep along by it at pleafure : The Harbour oiTrepal/i is very large, has fair Shoa- lings from 8 to 5 Fa. upon your going in ; and when you turn in or out, you may ftand with either Shore into - 7 to 3 Fa. without Danger : 'tis alio very well fecur'd, and good Ground to anchor in.

Here it is needful to bring in, as in its niofl; proper place, the Situation, Depths, Latitudes, oV. of thofe famous Sands called the H.niks of Ncn'fouudtandy which Ionic imagine arc Shoals; and lo indeed they are, compared with the Botromlcls Ocean about them: we fmd, upon exadt Dilcovcry, that the ulual Depth of Water upon thoie Banks is from 80 to 1 10 Fa. and that to the calhvard and northward there is frequently no Bottom ac ^00 Fa. The Opuuou of the bell Jiidj?;c3 concerning thefe Banks is thus. 1. The IclTerBankT called the Falfc Bank, they fay is nar- row ; that there is no lels than So Fa. upon it, and lb on to T 10 Fa. and that the dilh of it trom the main Bank is 30 Ls. Some by their reckoning make it 120 Ls from Nr^'jouiid- Inv.d^ others make it not lo much by 27 Ls: but they all agree in the Depth, and of So Fa. being the leafl Depth ofVVateruponit. 2.

The dill.' be- tween the Capes is near y Ls. A^. B The Variation here is between 22 and 23 d. weftcrly and holds lb all along this Coaft. The Bays and Harbours above-named, which lie ir norther- ly between thole Capes, are few of them, except that of Trcpajfi, fit for great Ships ; the Shore alio is foul, full of funken Rocks, and very dangerous : Bcfidcs, the Seas are very rempefluous on thisCoaft, by realbn of theconQant loucherly Winds, which almofl blow Trade on the Coall all the filhing Scalbn ; ib that the Seas come tumbling in upon them lo for- cibly, that there is no riding but in places very well Iccur'd ; On this Account, if you are bound to the W. along this Coall, you ought to keep a good Offing, and rather go to the Ibuch- ward of tlie Weft in yourCourlc co CaJ>c 'Fiiw, that you may be Furc not to be embay 'd here. But if you happen 10 be driven to the northward of your Courlc, then remember the Jailing Diredlion for the Fiarbour of TrepaJ]}, and run along the Coall: N. by E. from Cape 'Pine ; the Fiarbour lies in the bottom of the Gulph, about 4 Ls.dift. from the Cape. In failing for Trepafji, take great care that you do not mil- take another f'mall Inlet for it, call'd Mutton Bay^ and lying not above half a L from it, and which, as you come from the caftward, makes Jike it : therefore, as before directed, 'tis befl to keep over to this Shore, and fteer to a place called Sailing Covc^ which lies about 2 Ls to the N. of Cape ^Ptnc. In this Courlc, and going forward at the dift. of about half a Mile from the Shore, you will fee the Harbour of Trepa£i iiu- \y open, and have 'Point To'ujLs, which is the E.S.E. Point of the Entrance, bearing N E. from you. Off of the Point there are fome Rocks under Water, which you may know by the breaking of the Sea upon them iV. B. At this Harbour, and in all this Gulph or B-iy, an E. and W. Moon makes full Sea, and it ulually flows 5 Foot on the flack Tides, and 7 on the Spring ; but even that varies, as the Winds lie either off Shore or otfSea. From Cape Pine the Land goes rounding olF E. and W. a Point more or lels, to the opening of the great Bay called 6;. Marfs Bay. N. B You mud allow no lefs than two whole Points upon this Coafl: for the Variation of the Compals ; lo thai when vvc lay the Courlc is W. by N. as it is here, you arc liip- poled to fteer 2 Points more to thcN. or to the W . as your Voyage may lie : and lb in this Courlc, niftead of V\^ by N. yuuftccrN.W. by W. ^ h\ The oj a m it, tho River i 'nscall Nunibc out of Like of AV: but tliij On I tlicKIai inciitio tins p.ii 11^ Sii/l/n^ Dirvi'tioiis for the IJk 'I lie riur.iiKC mto tlii> Bay is very l.ir-j,c, aiul i:oes in a loo I-J V\^:r\^ y\o\M)xX\ou\\ to us brcadtli.

It may be laid to have many Mouths, oecafion'd by feveral Illands which lie inrhcwav ; bur there are properly two Channels, (that is (^ttcrcfta-^ ai and 'Pniitu ('n!K-i^iia\ ti conlequence There is I (land Ma? i!^ was a Cart On the K. ei gcthcr. but \\\c llland / the North Coajl of South America. 1 47 nncl a- their Atrcmpr, if they had been cool enough to have accepted jndings ot" it. r about The Point of St. ScbaJIian is foul, and has a Shoal lying ofT; jt 6 Ls therefore thole that go in here, give it a good Birth : It ufinefs, ftretches out N.W. by N. into the Sea lo Miles, and is very ito the dangerous. The (hilph is navigable for large Ships far in ; and when ill this going in, you arc got to the weftvvard of that Spic of Sand, '■helloes, you may run up thcGuIph at Will where you plcalc ; 'tis all cinvard, deep and fair, but 'tis belt to keep Mid-Channel.

What other Rivers or Lakes there are within this Lake, arc not to ourprclcnt purpofc, Navigation being little conccrn'd in them ; 'tis enough that keeping to the W. a:xl N.W. theCoun- 3y E. at try hai been found full of Rivers, and that aticr a narrow Pal- apes or lage over Land to the Rio S unci a Marii, the Entrance into m, and the South-Stn has been found, which is but a little way, .uid the way ealy ; lor they tell us 'tis poliible to pals to V''..'.', .".',2 a City, from the Lake of Niciv.i-^Ha at the difl. of 1 5 Miles only over mts for Land.

'J he principal Channels found practicable are thofe of Sabari- ma and (J'.r'ilhi't,!, or CinMn.vhi ; the lafl lies in, N. by E. and S. byW. and this Branch or River has two Channels, which .itrerward meet auain at the Uhnd of T) iiiidadc in the Mouth (,'f the graiui River.

On the E. fide of the River there lie a great many little Iflands, luppos'd at firft thrown up by the tbrce of the Current ; but now the Set of the Stream lies in the Mid- Channel, inclining to the other Shore. There are alio divers Rivers, which fall into the main River among thole Iflands, moft of which are able to carry good Ships, were there any Ulc for them. The main River is navigable far up into the Country, as Ibmc tell us above 5 o Ls, and has 4 to 5 Fa.

From Barbiczos the Coall bears out to the northward, 16 that the Courfe is N.E. by E. to the River 'Dcmiary, or "Dcwc- rarj : 'Tis a good Coalt. and good anchoring Ground all the way, the Shore plain and clear, with good Soundings froiM 7 Fa. to the very walh of the Shore. Your Enirancc into tlic herniary lies S.W. by W. lb that you muft go round a long Point of Land, which makes the E. Point of the Gulph of Rfqueba. From the River Barbicc, ib forae Charts name it> to that Point, the dillancc is 22LS, and thence to the Entrance into the ^Demcrary 8 Ls : The Courlc to the Point, as above, is N.E. by E. and the Courlc in the Fair Way, taken at an Offing of 5 Ls W. of the Point, is S.W. by W. The Channel in, is in the Midway ; keep your Lead goiua;, and when you find 14 Foot Water to 2 7 Fa. then you are within 2 Ls of the Mouth of the River. As you go in, you will deepen the Water to 1 5 and 20 Foot gadually ; and when you arc within the Heads or inner Poinr, you have 4 Fa. which is the decpcftof the Channel. The T>utch have Icveral little Colonics within this River, and go up to them with Ships of good burden. If you are bound in, make a Signal, and the viiitih Fadory will fend you olF a Pilot, and bring you in ; but you may come out again when they will give you leave, which you would do well to confidcr of before hand. Four Ls from the Mouth of the River T)emerary lies the great River EJqueba ; the Mouth of this River, as above, in- cludes both, and therefore the Entrance is call'd the Gulph of EJqueba. In the Mouth of the River F.fqucha lie three great Iflands, the La^uancca or Ln but 6 Foot, at other times 1 3 to 14 Foot.

N. B If you are blown upon this Coart, and are unacquainted, you may take a Pilot at Maranhao. ^ ^ In this Barra de Tortugas, or Tnrtl.' Harbour, is very aood anchoring in 5 to 7 Fa. and good Ground ; but as the Flare's on the Shore ftretch out far into the Sea, and make the Mouth of the Harbour very narrow, you mud found your way m ; for as here are i between them, in mo ll of wUich arj )0C hereabout from Rio Ofi'of great Sam the SboaL interiperh cially S I.

Thele Shoals of Rocks and Sand growing broader at the E. end, they ihoot out a I'oint, w Inch reaches due S. towards the Main Land d; redly oppofitc to Cabo do St. Roquo. On th'j other hand, from the Cape it felf there lies off a Riff of Rocks, which not only iurround the Point on every fide, but lie out from the Shore due N. at lead a L, and almoft meet the S. Point of the Shoal as above. The Channel between thoic is the only PafTagc leading thro' upon all this Coall, which is not above a Mile over. However, the Depth is good, having 4 Fa. in the narrow of the Strait ; and Pilots will carry you thro' very well, but no Stranger ought to venture. Tiiclc Shoals are lleep too in the infide, ^o that you may run within halt a Mile of them with your Lead in 5 Fa. all the way K. and W. Under CVz/c St. Roqitc, from whence thefc Shoals take their Name, lies a deep Bay, called by the ''Dutch de Smicuda Has^ where is very good Riding: Alfo at the bottom of the Bay comes in a River, called by x\\Q.^Vortngitcfc Rio do/1^iiada. In this Bay you have from ^: to 3 Fa. very good holding Ground, and lafc from all Winds. From this Caj-'c St. Roq ue ihc Coaft of the Hrafds turns fliort to the iouthward ; and whereas it lay before E. and W. with very little Variation, 1.1Z, a Point or two at moll, now the Land falling off, the Coall lies S. by W. and N. by W. varying very little wCapf dc Luccha; iu which Courle, as the Coalt is more frequented, lb we find it better lurveycd, and a more cxadt Account of the Soundings, Dillances and Bearings than we had before.

The En- trance into the Harbour hes in Lat. 3 d. 40 m. S. As the Entrance into this Port is thus from the N.W. lb in coming out you mud be cfpccially careful ; for to the N.E. lies a great Bank of Sand, with many dangerous Rocks upon it, called Bjxos de Snlino, or the Shoals of Sniina : They lie otF from the Shore due N. at the dift. of 3 Ls; but then they arc joyned to the Shore by a RifTof Sand 3 Ls m length, but not above half a L in breadth ; upon which there is no venturing with a great Ship, there being not above 2 t Fa. Water upon it : There arc alio many fmall Sands in the Channel, which none can fail among but thofe that are well acquainted. Tiicrc are mdced good Channels between them, in moll of which arc A to 6 Fa. but you mull have a good Pilot at the Salinas to car- ry you thro'. When you are over the RifT that joins the Raxos dc Salmo to the Shore, you have a clear Coaft within the Shoals all the way to the Rio Siara^ which is one of the moft confidcrablc Ports on this part of the Brafils. Thefe Shoals called Baxos dc Salhio ftretch from W. to E. a- bout lo Ls, and are in (brae places 3 Ls over, bcfides a great Ledge of Rocks which lie to the wertward of them at the dift. of but half a L, which lying triangular arc about 2 Ls over, and lie N. by E. from the Mouth of the Salinas. Being over the RifT which joins thefe Shoals to the Main, you muft keep an O fling of about 3 Ls ; there you will have 4 to 5 and 7 Fa. Water: But go not ofTto Sea beyond 10 Fa. while you are in thisCourlc; ior the Baxos dc Salino have a Tail of Sand running away E. by which it is joyned to the great Shoal called the Baxos de St, RoquOy of which prc- Icntly. From the Rio Siara the Courfe is E. by S. the going as before within the Sands and Rocks, is 50 Ls .- in the way there arc Ic- veral good Bays and Harbours, but few of any Trade. There is good anchoring in the Bay "Pardnba^ where you ride within a Sand which lies on the E. fide of the Entrance in 3 to 4 Fa. Water, and well fecur'd ; the Channel goes m on the W. fide, the Point of which is called 'Fnnta de Pcdras^ and has 4 Fa. in the going in. Aoout 10 Ls E.S.E. from 'Piinta dc Tcdtas is the Bay or Bahia Brandihi^ where there is good Anchoring in 5 to 6 Fa. but no fhclter from the N. Winds, which blow right in : From thence the Shore is full of good Roads, as at SurQidoura^ "Pnnta del Gade, the Tnnta de Siara^ and then tfic Port of Siara it felf, where there is very good anchoring in 5; Fa. and well fecur'd.

From 'Point Nepo the Coall trends on S.E. to 'Point dc Lii- ena.Mt. by the 'Dutch Mealiire 20 Ls, the whole Coaft between full of good Harbours, Bays, Rivers, and Openings, lo that Ships cannot ^M\t Anchorage \ the Ground being alio generally auocjd holding Sand, or limdy Clay The Bays, Htc. in this Courle arc, I.

There are leveral others of lei's note. When you are in this Road you have 5 to 6 Fa. very good Riding : The Tnnta dc Lucena is within 2 Ls of this Road ; but to go without the Sands, you make it 6 or 7 Ls to come to the Point. A'. B. In this Road off of Luccua the Bra fit Ships bound for Europe rendezvous to make up their Fleets, as the Spaniards do at the Havanna. N.B. South from the Point de Lnccna the Tr^rtugnefc have a Fortification, callM Fort St. Antonio, Tunta de Lnccna is the N. Point of the outer Opening into the Rio 'Parayba ; under that Point W. and without the Fort St. Antonio^ is a very good Road, where you may anchor iu 4, 5, and 6 Fa. within which Fort a RifF Ihoots out S. oppo- iitc to Cape Ledo, where there is aU'o a Tortngnefe Voit : And thole two Forts make the inner PafTagc or Mouth of the River, the Channel between being clean and clear of Sands or Rocks, and about a L wide. About half a L up the River within the Forts lies the Ifland Fratresy or Brotbers, at the N.E. end of which is another flrong Fort, lb that the Entrance into this great River is de- fended by three Forts, the beft of the Channel ^oes in on the S. fide of the Fort, and alfo of the Ifland. The River is laid to be navigable above 30 Ls up the Country ; but as we are not certain of it, 'tis not material for us to enquire, fined 'tis but of little ule to Navigation. About 8 Lsup the Ri- ver, I o Ls from "Punta de Lucena^ lies the City 'Parayba, where you have good anchoring ground in 4 to 5 Fa. Water. From the River Tarayba the Coaft trends on due S. to the Torto dos Franceses, difl;. 10 Ls. This is a large Bay, into which leveral Rivers empty themlelves. There is good Riding in It, but the N. Shore is rocky and tbul. Between thcfe two lies Cape Blanco, and alfo the Rio Gramama. All along this Coaft there lie fmall narrow Shoals, parallel with the Shore, like the Grounds off of the Irijh Coaft be- tween IVcxford and 'Dublin : The Channels between thefc Shoals and the Main are narrow and foul, neither is there any depth of Water lor Ships : One Fa. to i 7 is the moft for a- bovc ;o Ls in length ; but the Sea, at an Offing of about a L g Direclions for the Coafi of Brafil. Riding; is made fthc Shore. 4. r, the Entrance ncc is 5 to 6 Fa. 4 to 2 Fa. iu a ^57 with Sands and Shoals, that the main Entrance is by the Tuuta Marine, an Ifland where the'D/z/r/; built a Fort to guard the, Entrance into the Harbour of the Rccief. iJclow this lore more but at Sea, flood the City o{ O Inula, which thc'PortU" gnefe CdWOiinda dc 'Phnrnambuqno.

Here is a large •uth of the River, Opening, but no dcj.ch of Water, it being fo block'd up with Sands or Rocks, Shoals, that it is rendcr'd alnioli: ulelcis to Navigation; nor can any Ships enter here : It is dill, about 5 Ls trom ()liiul'.i. There is 4 Fa. without the inner Sand, and within the outer ; fo that there is a very good Road, tho not a complete Harbour. N. B. In all this Coaft you have the lame Soundings, and the fame Depths of 7 to 9 Fa. in an Offing ol' 3 to 4 Ls off of the Sands. From Rio St. Avgelo the Coafl continues to thruft out to to'cnquirc, fmcti the E. and theCourlc lies S.E. by S. from thence to Caho St. itgLsup the Ri- Au^iifiine. This Cape lies in Lar. 8 d. 24 m.

About X Li up the Ri- ver, T o Ls trom 'Pufita dr Litcemt^ lies the City 'Parnyba^ wiicrc you have good anchoring ground in ± to 5 Fa. Water. From the River 'Parayba the Coaft trends on due S. to the '•Portodos Prancczcs, dift. loLs. This is a large Bay, into whicli Icveral Rivers empty themlelvcs. There is good Riding in it, but the N.

From hence the Coaft hcs fair S.W. to the Rio Lpearing to be very large and deep. But all this is to no purp)le as to Navigation, v.hile the Mouth of the River is bar\i up with Sands and Shoals, and which cannot be remov'd.

Upon all this Coaft the Tortu^r^nefe have a confiderabic Commerce ; but as that is not our bufinefs here, we ihall fpcak only to the Shipping and the Navigation. The Channel of the River being 16 exceeding broad, and the Current rapid to fuch a degree, as that the frcih Water is taken up far out to Sea, it cannot be cxpcdtcd it fliould be extraordinary deep, much lels free trom Sands and Shoals, cfpecially in its Entrance into the Sea : But that it fliould be entirely barr'd over from Shore to Shore with a Sand, on which there is but 2 f Fa.

The Shore coming f:om the northward fuews deep, with black Rocks, a low Strand, and Ibme Bays, with Pebble Stones and a landy Beach, Grafs upon the Hills, but no Wood or frelh Water to be got on all that part of the Coaft. The Land on the N.E. Point oiSp'trings Bay makes out full, like a bluff Point or a Foreland, being a tair high Land in large plain Hills.

But as in certain Scafons the quan- tity of Water from the Mountains, elpeciaily in the Rio Ta- rn\!^uay which comes from the Lakes near the Line, being very qreat, wc may luppclc the Depchs of Water arc increalcd, as \vc lee uiuilly in other Rivers which come from the fame Lati- tudes; and by that Account the differing Relations may be re- conciled, VIZ,, that that River is deep or ihoal, as the Scalbns alter the Channel. The Port of Buenos /lyreA\z% on the S. Shore of the River about 70 Ls, and about loLs above the Bar mention'd before : on which Bar, by the fa'd 'Dutch Charts, there is but 2 7 Fa. Water, nor is it deeper by the lame Charts in the Harbour of Buenos ylyres it ielf. From Buenos Ayres to the Mouth of the River on the S. Shore we have no exadt Survey, or Account of the Depths and Soundings of the Shore ; nor arc there any Towns or In- habitants found upon the Shore, to form any bufincfs for Ships ro come there : What may be done for the future upon the Englijh being allowed a Trade in that River, is not to the prc- Icnt purpole. In like manner, from Cape St. Anthonlo fcuthward for many Leagues, nothing can be faid in particular, but vi^hat is gather- ed from the Accounts of thole Navigators, who have called here in their Voyages to the Somh-Sea, fuch as Magellan^ Le Marc, T)rakc, Sir John Narbrough, and others ; 'it may be properly called a Cojia T)cfcrta, as it is by the Spaniards^ there being no Inhabitants fettled in any particular Place for a great many Ls, 'viz, from Lat. 26 7 to 47 or 49 d.

You may load a ^ood large Long-Boat in an hour with Penguins only, mean time your Ship may ftand off and on, or go to the northward to 'Port T>cjire. Tort 'Dcfire lies to the northward of thefe Iflands, and N;N.W. from this Tevguin Illand in particular, dift. about 3 Ls, in a Bay of 4 Ls broad and i ~i deep. About the middle of this Bay lie feveral white Cliffs for a- bout 2 miles in length ; on the top of them the Land is plain, but the Country behind them lies in high round Hills and Downs, doping low towards the Water-fide : By all thcic Marks the Coaft is to be known. On the S. fide of the Bav there is a fandy Cove, very convenient to hale a Boat on Shore in foul Weather ; and over it a Range of craggy broken Rock., which look like a Wall.

I rounded the Shore thus bccauic we were all unacquainted, and wc could not fee the Opening of the Sarro:z:, or where it lay, one Land /hutting it in within another. * About 5 u-Clock we were open with the Karron-, and and had flilJ a fine Gale at N.N.E. which had it held would have been a leading Gale thro'. Accordingly I run into the Chops of It, keeping a S.W. by S.

' Here wc were in great danger of tuling afhore upon (bme ftcep Rocks, which lie on the N. fide of the Entrance; the Ship taking a Sheer with the Force of the Tide, ami the Wind blowing frcfh from the N.E. Wc faw the Rocks by the long Rock-wccd which grew on them, and lent the Boar to found them, who found but 5 Foot Water upon them, tho there was 14 Fa. clofc to them on the off fide next the Channel or /v// ff'^y : they lie flrctching fioin the N.

But if you have a mind to round the Bay, as we did the other, and was done afterwards at our Return by the Pinnace, you will find from 7 to 8 Fa. clofc under the Shore ; all the way, a clear Strand and good anchoring under the N.W. Land, in a Imall Bay, which wc called Gre^^orfs Il7y, about 2 mile N.E. from Cape Gregory : There you may ride in 8 Fa. fine clean iimdy Ground, within half a mile from the Shore ; it is a very good Road for any Wind between the N.E. weflward to the S.W.

You cannot (ec the Opening into the Port as you come from the northward, till you come lb low as to bring Point St. Ann to bear N.W". from you ; For the Bay lying up in a little Hook N.W. and tiic Land on the W. fide lying low, the other Shore conceals the Port. Here we found Heaps of drift Wood lying on Shore, cafl: up by the Winter Floods, {0 that it look'd like a Carpenter's "^'ard. '■ This Point of 6Y. Ann is rocky on the Shore, but voii may run into the Port bold with the Point. Here is likcwile good wooding, watering and fijhing. The Men haul'd 500 large Mullets, or Filh as large and good as a Mul'et, on Shore at one Haul j alio Smelts of 20 Inches long, with Anchovy and Skate. N. B. Port Famine lies in Lat. 53 d. 35 ra. * S. from Cape Famine the Reach goes on ftill S. about 4 Ls farther, and then turns away to the weftward, the Streight alio or Channel growing narrower to about 5 Ls. Julf at the Turning ofT of the Channel to the W. the N. fide ncceHurily makes a Point, which running out to the S.E. we call'd Cape Fro'-ji'ard. This is the fouthermoll Land of the main Continent oi America, and lies from Greenland, and the height of the N. Pole, due S. or S W. the greatcft Continuity of Land in the known World. ' It is very high Land, efpecially on the infide of the Cape: The Front is deep up, confiding of a high Ridge ot Ciilfs of a blackilh-grcy Colour. There is a great depth of Water near the Shore off of the Cape, in ibmc places no Ground at 150 Fa. within half a Mile of the Shore. The oppofite Shore is high and very mountainous, but has more Inhabi- tants than on the N. fide ; yet the Shore is not ib iafc as the N. fide : And the othey being a Lee-lhorc, with weflerly Winds, and thoie frequently blowing here, it is worle riding there, and more dangerous. ' The Streight here is is not above 3 Ls over, but exceed- ing deep, no Ground at 250 Fa. in this Channel , and the depth being lb great, there is but little Tide, nor any Ri['- pliug to be percciv'd, but a fair Courle thro' an open clear Channel ; nothing wanting but a frelh Gale abai'c the Mall, It is rtill bcrt, for any Ship to keep nearelt the N.

As \vc lailcd thro' the Second Narroij from Ciipi' Gfr^ory, I lonndcd in tiic Fair /Fay, and had 2S to 30 Fa. all the way, the Ground Imall Stones. * At the Point of the N.

This wc named Ca/'c St Grc^qory; it is without the Bay mentioned above, a little to the S. by E. or ^B k>.S.E. * There is aifo a Bay a little within this Point, in the PafTage of the Second Narron' on the N. Shore; but to that wc gave no Name. The Second AW?ox' is broader than the firft, and tlic Palfigcnot ib long; lb it is the Id's dilTiculr. * The N. Shore of this Narro^^ makes in a Bay at the E. Point, and the Shore is full of white Cliffs all the way thro\ * This Karron' lies thro' W.S.W. and E.N.E. at the W. end of it the Land is llccp up in white Cliffs, the S. part of it rounds away in a Foreland; and the Shore rounds away S.E. from it, and then it trends away to the Ibuthward in low Land. The N. Shore of this Narro-ji^ or Strcigbt rounds up to the northward in white Cliff^s, and falls into Shoals. There goes in a Harbour, which has 4 Fa. in the Channel at high Water : It is a flat round Harbour within, and ouzy : 1 called this Onzy Ilnrbour. When you are at the W. end of this Narroi.' you will fee three Iflands come open, which ihew to be llccp up Cliffs ; they lie triangular- wife one of another ; they are ,y Ls did. from the Narrozi^'s W.S.W. thefmallcft and eaftcrmoft Ifle wc called St. Bartbo- lome'-jj's ; the biggcft is called Elizabeth ; the middlemoft and fouthcrmoft is called St. George's, and by fome 'Pen^ gain's Ifle, for indeed there arc many 'Pengnp/s on it. This Evening I got up to Eliz,aheth''s IJland and anchor'd in 8 Fa. and a half, line black Sand, two miles off' the Ifland ; thcE.

Being at an anchor under the Lee of this Ifland, wc founded the Channel between that and the next Ifland bearing S. of it, which wc call'd St. BartholomcjJ'Sy and found it a fair Channel, deep Water, and a Mile broad.

' It is very high Land, cipecially on the in fide of the C.ipc - The Front is ftcep up, confiding of a high Ridge ot CiilFs of a blackifti-grey Colour. There is a great depth of Water near the Shore off of the Cape, in Ibmc places no Ground at 150 Fa. within half a Mile of the Shore. The oppofitc Shore is high and very mountainous, but has more Inhabi- tants than on the N. fide ; yet the Shore is not 16 iafc as the N. fide : And the othey being a Lce-lhore, with wcRerly Winds, and thole frequently blowing here, itisworle riding there, and more dangerous. * The Streight here is is not above 3 Ls over, but exceed- ing deep, no Ground at 250 Fa. in rhis Channel , and the depth being lo great, there is but little fide, nor any Rip- pling to be percciv'd, but a fair Courle thro' an open clear Channel ; nothing wanting but a frelh Gale abal'c the Malt, It is (fill bed for any Ship to keep nearert the N.

Cape Fro'-ji-ard lies in Lat. 5^ d. 52 m. S. * On the 4th of November, the Wind Ipringing up frclh ac W.N.W. and the Reach from Cape Frozuard lying due W. we were oblig'd to put in towards the N. Coali, and come to an anchor 5 Ls to the W. of Cape Frouard in a very good Bay, which we call'd Wood's Bay. N. B. This was call'd fo after the Name of one Mr. IFood, who was Sk Jobn Narbrouglfs Chief Mate, and very iu- flrumental in giving this full Account of the Voyage. * Nov. 5. we weigh'd again, and came a-breafl of Cape Holland. Thefe are all Points of Laud on the N. Shore of this Reach, as is alio Cape Coventry, Andrcvas, Ccrdes, and ¥ortefcue\ Bay, Ca^c Gallant, iund Port Gallant : All theic lie on the N. Shore, and there is very good anchoring la mod of them, tho there are fome Rocks under Shore upon mod of the N.

When we were a-breall of the weltcrmoll of them, which is Ruperfs IJlatid^ and failing Mid Chan- nel, we ihot off a Sakre, and lodg'd the Shot dole in the Ifland's fide.

This Bay we call'd Mujcle Bay ; and a River which comes into it we calPd St. Jcrom's River. The Shore is rocky and deep too, no Ground in the Channel of the Narro-Ji,' at 100 Fa. alfo in inoll of the Bays on the S.

' By this Change of the Wind to the caftward, we got fb far to the vveftward, that to our great Comfort we were able af- terward to make uie of the S.W. and S.S.W.

This Outlet or Paflage, we are told by Monf FrezieVy was difcover'd Anno iji^yMay the 15th, by Capt. Marcanllle^ in a Ship or Tartane oi Marfcilles^ call'd the St. Barbara. Take the Account from his own Words thus : * About fix in the Morning they failM from Elizabeth'^sBay ou the N fide of the Channel of the Streight of Magellan, fteering S. W. and S. W. by S.

They were aflifted by the Currents, and a good Gale at N.E. both which were in their favour : With thelc Helps they ran along the Ifland ; and within an Hour after they had pals'd it, they found themfelves cntred into a large Channel, where on the S. fide they could fee no Land, ex- cept a great number of iinall Iflands, or rather Rocks, a- mong abundance of Breakers of the Sea, which when the Wind blew off Sea made a horrible noilc. * As the Defign of their Voyage was to pafs thro' the ufual Channel of Magellan, they began to be convinced they were out of the way, having a true Chart of Sir John Nar- borough^s Voyage before them : They fought therefore for (bmcRoad or Bay, where they might come to an anchor, fo to gain time to fend their Boat to make fome Difcovery of the Coaft, and if poflible to learn whereabouts they were : Accordingly the Boat went off, and found a little Bay ; and making the agreed Signals, the Ship went m, and anchored S t there ic white < « The the E.S away S out fro ving a ' 3Am which 1 tion'd J found 5 fboner ' The they ca ing at i isaRo( there is next t( proper N.B. dcra ma) alfb I leave giving a or are po the Souti other th: fearch'd \ cafieft ai Sailing DireHions for the Coajis of Chili and Peru, in the South Seas, from Cape DefTeada at the Ei in Lat. 53 d. 10 m. to Chulao on the Coafl of C to the Bay or Gulph of Panama.

It is full of Woods and large grown Tim- ber generally Cedar, but very fit for building of Ships ; and they build Ships here for carrying the Timber to oihcr places, io that here muft be both Bufincls and People. On the iufide of the ifland is a good Road ; tlic Entrance goes in, on the S. of the great Ifland, and between that and the IfandGuafo.

The Bay goes in S.E. the ioiuhcrinoll Point is called Tinita dc Turtw^j, mentioned above, which the Ships keep as dole to as they can for the realons before, 'viz. that it is to wind- ward, and if they go large ot?', it is not enly to get into the Road, which is under the Lee of the Cape. The z Illaiuis mention'd above of 'Paxaro dc Kinno are under this Point to the wcftward; and therefore 'tis that the Ships venture befvecii them and the Main, that they may be enough to windward to make into the Road of Tojtit^i^as. It IS true, the Rocks arc clean, and flcep too; To that Ships run within a Boats length of them ; and they llnve to di) it, that they may the eafier gain the Road, as above, which is called the 'Port.

If in coming out of this Bay you fliould happen to be bc- calm'd, you muft be fure not to come to an Anchor near the laid Rock 'Paxaro A'lnno in 40 to 45 Fa. becaule the Bottom is foul and rocky, and will cut your Cables, and you will nut be able to weigh your Anchor by your Buoy Ropes.

Thclc Iflands arc 6 or 7 in number, and icveral Spantjh Ships have perifli'd upon them, bciim hors'd on them by the laid Currents : for which rcafbn, when yoM go horn the South, you mud be careful to runlbmc Ls V\ .N.W. and in rime too, that you may get to feavvard of tlicm, for die Sp.wiih Pilots fhun them as they would a Shoal in a Culm. They uc the more dangerous alio, bccaule the Tides upon the Coalt are not at all regular, and muft be known ra- ther by Experience than by the exadtefl Obfervation. Four Ls N. from thclc Iflands is the Iflaud of Cboros ; and 5 Ls farther, theCourie lying N. by W. is the Port o^GunJio. iietwcen them is the Creek, and an Ifland before it call'd TotO' ml : It lies midway between a certain high Cape, with a Mountain upon it, callM Sierra "Prieto^ and a low Point, which is the fouthermofl Land of the Salt Bay. From the Bay of Coquimbo to Guajco is i 5 Ls, that is, 8 to the Iflands of Birds, and 7 beyond, to the Bay. Some Accounts make the diflance more by 4 Ls ; but we have Icve- ral Charts, which confirm our Account. 1 he Port of Gnafco forms a good Harbour, and you have fafc anchoring in 18 to 20 Fa. very near the Land. Ic is not a iiuich frequented Port, bur 'tis capable of receiving great Sliips ; and there is a very good watering place. ^Port Gnaf- co is in Lat. 28 d. The River lying to the N. of the Town 2Ls. From Gnafco due X. lies Cape Toutr.ral : The Names are fo alike, that ionic Accounts niillakc this, which is a Cape, lor Totoral, mcntiond above, which is a Creek with an Ifland : hut the dif?crcnce is evident, the one is 12 Ls to th* S. of Guajco^ and the other 1 5 Ls to the N. of it. To go into tiiis Port of Gnafco^ you niufl anchor right a- l',ainfl the River, under a imall low Ifland : The Point of the Main is covcr'd with 7 or 8 Rocks, which lie our of the Wa- ter. On the Top of the Point there is a rough Sandhill, wiicrc you will ibc two or three mr^ir* dry Rocks ; there you may anchor, bringing that Po'-" .0 u-irN. by W. from you. The Harbour of Gnafco is wcil fecurcd from all Winds be- tween the E. and S.F. but too open to the N. and N.W. The Rocks mciition'd above lie at rhe windward Point, and are a M.ry good Security to the Road. The Hill of Gnafco is very liii^h aiui thick, and riics with two I'ico's, the northcrmofl is f he highclt ; they arc Icen many Ls to Sea, and by them you make the Port, tor there arc no other Mills like them on the K oall.

Here is a good Road behind a rocky Point . \v.\\ muft coaft the Starboard or S.

This Road would be muv:h more frequented, but that borli Wood and Water arc exceeding Icarccand diiHcult to be had. Tho this Iccms to be the chief Port for the Town of Co- piapo, yet it is at leall i^LsE. into the Country, over the Mountains, and 20 Ls by the ordinary Road, which follows the Courlc of the River : From the Road of Caldro to the Mouth of the River of Copiapo is 5 Ls by the Coaft due N. and S. accounting from the Offing of the Road. From Copiapo to Coqtiimho is loo Ls within Land, the Country waftc and dclart without Town or Villages ; no wonder then that the Coaft is without Harbour and Ship- pnig. This is that prodigious Ridgc of Mountains which part Chil: from 'A;//, and which he mLat. 24 to :^ d. But the Sea Coaft \<, not lb wild and defolate as the Country within Land.

Here is another R:o Salado, or S.t'lt Rizer ; and indeed frefli Water is very rarely to be had m any of thelc Harbours. The Bay it iclf is but indillerenr ruling, the N.W.

To go into tills Port of Guafco, you jnuflt anchor right a- p,ainft the River, under a Imall Jow Ifland : The Point of the IVIain IS cover'd with 7 or 8 Rocks, which He out of the Wa- ter. On the Top of the Point there is a rough Sand hill, where you will lee two or three more dry Rocks ; there you may anchor, bringing that Point to bear N. by W. from you. The Harbour of Cunfco is well fecurcd from all Winds be- tween the E. and S.E. but too open to the N. and N.W. The Rocks mentioned above lie at the windward Point, and are a \ cry good Security to the Road. The Hill of Guafco is very high and thick, and riles with two Pico's, the northermoft is the highcll ; they are Icen many Ls to Sea, and by rhem you nuke the Port, for there are no other Hills like them on the Co all. From Cdfjc Tout oral to Cop'uipo is 2 5 Ls ; the Courfc ftill lies N. or at mofl: N. by W. Lupc Tontoral is fituate in Lat. ► yd. 30m. lictween rhem lies the Haia Salada^ or Sal'ina, in Englijh^ the SaltBay, dill, from the Cape i o Ls. There is a good Road in tliat Bay, and much frequented by coaftiiig Veflels, as well for loading Salt, as for other Bufmcls; the anchoring Ground is to tlic northward ; the Point on the oppofite Shore bearing S.W. Irom you, as you ride. 'Tis tolerable fafe lying here with the Wmds louthcrly, but the N. Winds blow right in, fo that you mud be always in a readinels to iail and put out to Sea, or you w ill be in danger of going a-fliore. Here is good frefh VV'atcr to be had, and very convenient near the Road. From this lUia Saluda to Copiapo is 10 Ls, the Courfe N. by E. The Coaft between is all laic with good anchorage, and icvcral little Bays with good Ihclter, as well againll nor- therly as louthcrly Winds ; the Mountain of Copiapo, which torms a Head-laud, and is call'd Morro de Copiapo^ makes at Sea like a great Ifland, fomewhat like the Point of St. Helena \\\'J-'(}u. On the S. fide, about a L olTShorc, there are two linall lliands, and under them a very good Road. A little to rhe N. of the Town lies the River of the lame Name, which comes in open with thole Hlands. Oppofite to this River to icaward, there is a dangerous Shoal ftrctchins E. and W. at a good dilbncc ; and as it lies due W. from the Mouth of the kivcr, you muft ftand out from it to the N.W. till you open the Entrance by the Ifland, under which you muft come to an anchor. Vou run in S.E. by S. and S.E. and anchor under the Lee of the N. Point, well lecured as above. The Point or Head- land call'd Mono dc Copiapo lies N. fVom this Ifland, difl. about 2 Ls. Behind the Head-land is a little Bay, with a Creek at the S. end of it, call'd Tiierto dellngk-^ (rs, or the Port of the Englifhrncn ; call'd lo, it feems, 'be- aulc an F.v^liih Pirate anchored there formerly, and rode in it lomc tunc, w atching for Purchalc.

The Marks for the Harbour of Bettas are a Spot of white Sand^ and in the Middle of it a Spot of black Earth : The Entrance mto the Harbour liesexadly in Lat. 25 d. S. The ncxi Port or Place of Confcqucnce to this is Baia de Nctijh-a Seii;/o'.:, or Oi/f La:iys Bay. From Coptapo to this Bay de Ncttjira Semiora is 30 Ls, the Courfe all the way N. by E. and Si by W. Here is another R:o Salado, or Salt R/ver ; and indeed frefli Water is very rarely to be had in any of thcfe Harbours. The Bay it fcif is but indifFcrent riding, the N.W. Winds blowing right in ; and as rhe Land is high and mountainous along the Shore, it fends down ftrong Gulls and Squals of Wind, which are very dangerous to Sailors. From hence to Cape de George is 20 Lsj the Land alfo mountainous, the Courfe N.N. E. and S.S.W. the Coaft ot 'i^t'r« falling off here a little to the E. You may anchor under Mono de George in 25 Fa. all iecurc, no Dangers but what are vifible. The Bay is in Lat. 24 d. 30 m. If it be clear Weather, you may fee Cajfe Morreno from the Mountains over the Bay of Our Lady : You fliould lie at anchor S. of the Rock, about a Mile from the Shore. From Cape George the Courle lies N.E. to Cape Morreuai juft under the Ibuthern Tropick, being it Lat. 23 d. 45 m. S. dift. 1 5 Ls. Between the Capes there is a great Bay which in- vites a Stranger in ; but if the Wind comes about to the S.E. 'tis hard to get out, and very dangerous, bccaufe it blows righr, on the Shore, and makes a great Sea in the Road. From the N. Point of the Bay of Morreiias to Mejjllloiics^ or Mufile Bay, is 8 Ls, the Courfe N. by E. and S. by W. Cape Morrena is high Land. On the N.E. fide is a good Road, near the fmall Ifland which lies before it. Here is alio a very convenient Harbour, tho exceeding narrow, where you may careen a good Ship ; however, give the Cape what Butli yen can, for here are fometimes terrible Flaws of Wind, which come ofT from the Mountains within the Land. From the Bay of McJJillones to Atacama is 5 Ls, the Com fe between lies N. by E. and S. by W. There is a Hill like i Sugar-loaf on the Point, and on the N. fide another lunic what lef s. The Bay of iMefflllones is deep, the Anclioriii.v p'ace to the eaftward ; but the Entrance N and S. On the S. iuic jc is deep, and you have no Bottom, but at the Entrance or An« choring-place it is moderate, and you may riJc jn 1 3 fa. W atcr clean Ground, and well fccurcd from nioft Winds. It is to bn oblcrved, that the Seamen call all the Opening from Cape r«> m 30 to 50 Cape the Baia dcAcutavui, ox Atac'.v>ia\ lo that the Mujrlc ip ■^ ^74 Sailing Directions for P,'\ is a Bjy wirlun a B.iy, being a Ihull Harbour at the IJottoni ot t!ic other : But this makes the latter laler ridiuv:, tor in the '^rcat Bay thcW. and N.W.

To go in here, your befl way is to run dole under the Head- land, for the Port is to the Leeward of it ; you may anchor at Dilcrction, the whole Port is all clean Ground : Here you have frcfli Water and good Provifions, elpecially Flour, Oil, Wine and Brandy. In your going into this Harbour, take care not to come too near a lirrlc Bay, which you will lee at the Entrance, for it is all foul, and has many fharp little Rocks Jying under Water, which arc very dangerous.

There is a vciy good Harbour at the Salinas^ and you may ride cafy, tho the I5rcc/,c generally blows hard in, and brings in a tumbling Sea. If you are obliged to put in there for Shelter, you mull, but you will get nothing elle ; and if you want Wood, Water, or other Provifions, you muft fetch them at Guar a. If ycu would ride here, you muft anchor before you come up to ^c Rocks, which you will lee under the Shore : Come no nearer than 7 to 8 Fa. A'. R. Here is another fmall Port call'd ''Puerto de la Harca^ but 'tis of little or no uic, there being nothing to be had but Anchorage, which is to be had in many Places jurt by it, Likcwilc on this Coaft, from x.\\q Salinas to windward near Caho de Rtm,itt\ and over againft los Farrcloues dc Cuara, or the Rocks of Guapa, there is a Irnall round Bay in which is good riding ; 'tis (haped like a Horlc-lhoc, and is therefore called la Ilcrradnra. It is a very ulcful Place ; for if you arc coming from the Sea, and cannot weather the Rocks oi'Guaray you may put in here, and be lafc, it being an excellent Har- bour ; you ride between the Point and the Main with great lalcty : The Point is call'd the Rematc, or Cabo de Rcmate. 1 here is a Imall Rock in the Bay, which they call Tamhi- iio ; you may run on cither fide of ii, between it and the Shore or without, 'tis not dangerous bccaufc you fee it, and 'tis clean and deep all round it. From this Pomt to the 'Playa dc hs ^Pcrdices, or the '^Partridge Strand., is 3 Ls ; the Land be- tween is call'd the Tambo, or the Coaft oi'Tambo. Upon this J/r/2;/<2' you have good clean anchoriui^-groimd, under a Row of high ridgy (andy Hills, one of which lying to the north- ward is higher than the reft. Whenyoucomc fromtheleaward towards this Land, thole Hills relcmblc a Covey of Partridges juft rifing, and from thence the Coaft or Strand has its Name.

To anchor in the Port of Guam, bring Ilha Lnbos a-ftern, and bring two old Walls which make like two Pillars, and (land upon the Point or Headland, into one ; then let go your Anchor, but take care to found the place well, for the Ground is foul, and there arc feveral funk Rocks, which tho too deep to hurt your Ship, will cut your Cables, and you may lofc your Anchors. Vou mufl moor here with an Elbow, for you have a rude Sea, hut the Har'jour is much efteem'd : You have good frefh Water, and may get all neceffary Provifions from the Town, which is a L from the Harbour. N. B. The Ifle of Uon Martin is high and rocky, it makes white at a diftance ; 'tis but a linall Ifland, about half a L in compnls, and a quarter of a L from the Shore. From the Ifland of T>(m Martin to the Strand of Soupa the Courfc is due N. difl:. 3 Ls : The Land on the Coaft between is low, but behind that low Land the Country is exceeding mountainous, and the Hills rile up in fmall Pico's like Vol- cano's.

The Mountains oi'Tombcz begin about 2 Ls to the fonthwarcl oiTtinta del Mero, dift. from Cape Blanco 10 Ls, and to Tom- bez, 2 Ls more : the Courle to the firft is N.E. and then dnc N. and S. Along great part of the Coaft you have double Laiuj, and about Midway very high Mountains : thele Mountains lie from the Coaft high up the Country, and are called La Si- erra de Mancora, Under that part of them which lies next the Sea, there is a linall Bay with a white fandy Coaft : to the Ibuthwardof that Bay lies a high Point, and a little to the Lee- ward of that Point another very fine curious Bay, where is lafc anchoring in very good Ground, and what Depth of Water you plealc. At the other part of that high Shore comes in the River Kii Tombcz, ; the Mountains of Lombaz run along the Coaft. till you come to a low Point called 'Fnnta del Alero : then the Land next the Sea is low and flar, tho the Country within is high and mountainous. The Channel is known by a Tree highc. than any other in all the Country, and which ftands juft at the Entrance of the River. If you would go in here, be careful not to come too near the loweft Point of the Entrance, for there is a Shoal which ihoots out from that Point, and runs above a L into the Sea. From the River of Tornbez, to the I Hand oi Suuta CA.ira is 6 Ls. fomelay 'tis but 4 Ls; the Courle N.N.E. in which Courlc you neceftarily crol's the River of GnyaquU. The Iflaiid is caiy to be kn^ ' 1 ; it appears like a dead Corps extended at full length, therefore the Spaniards call it Morto : it is about 2 miles in length, dift. from Guyaqnil i-j Ls. The Mountains of Tombcz, are Icen far out at Sen, 10 Ls beyond the Ifland of Santa Clara. The Courfe from the Ifland of Santa Clara to the City of C//>'rf^«// lies E.N. E.efpecially. from 'Pyiwf Arena in the llland of 'Puna^ which is within the Mouth of the River. Great Ships can not pals between Santa Clara and the Ifland of 'Pn- na, becaulc there arc leveral Shoals caft up by the Frcllic^ which come down from the Mountains by the Channel of the River. It is true, there are fomc Channels large cnougii, which have a iiifticient Depth of Water in them; but none ought to venture among them, who arc not thoiowly well ac- quainted. There is a Shoal of Sand about half way within the River up ro 'Puna ; it reaches near Mid-Channel over on the fide of the Ifland, and is difficult to avoid, unlcis you have a com- manding Gale to keep in that Channel, which is nearcll tlic Sea, Ships may take Shelter down in the Bay, cfpccially to the Leeward of Cape An^uja^ where there is a place or two ib quiet, that they may walh and tallow with all polliblc Safety. The Lcbos de '^Payta is a Imall round Ifland, the Coafl: not high, but very clean Ground round it, and dole to it ; the Bight within it \s Cd\\Q(\ La Eucanada dc Cechu/a, being the ianie mcntion'd above. Due N. from Lobos de Tayta lies T^cna Orodada, dift. 2 Ls ; and from thence to Tfjjta 2 Ls more N. by E. Here comes into the Sea, at a large Opening, the River CoquimaOy or Chuquima ; the Entrance into which makes the Harbour of Tnyta : The River is large, but not navigable for great Ships tar in; alio the River ilvttuna empties it lelf at the lame Mouth into the Sea. From the Harbour of Tayta to Cape Blanca the Courfc is N.W. part of the way, viz-, to "Punta Purina^ and then due N. and S. to the Cape : the Land from Payta to 'Punt a Parina is a large Bay, low Land, with lomc white Hills all the way ; but take care of coming into ir, for bcfides its being fubjedt to dead Calms, there arc alio many Shoals thrown up by the Frcllies of the R ver nam'd above. From that River to the Town of ^Payta it is ^ Ls; the Land looks white, with Imall Hills, and in feme places is double : The Marks for this Port arc fcvcral ragged Mountains juft over it ; but the Land to the Harbour fide is low. Beware of Flaws from thofe Mountains, as you enter in ; when you arc m, you have 8 to 10 Fa. juft agauill the Houfesof the Town ; and good Ground to anchor in. The Land is much the fune beyond Point Parma ; there's a Shoal facing that I'oint on the windward fide, and the Land is low there ; it makes like c Iflands : you may anchor under the Lee of the Point in 1 2 Fa. the Country within is very high and mountainous. In the Midway from the Point 10 Cape Blanco there are feveral Coves and Bays, as Alalaca and Talara or Fa- mid ; this laft is a good Harbour, and goes in under a blutT Pomr, with a white craggy Rock, which ftands over it like a Precipice: Tho the Harbour is good, yet no Ships frccjuent it, only Barks to load Salt ; you may indeed take Shelter there upon occafion, if the Winds and Currents force you down ; but then you mull: ride as it were upon Life and Death, with 3 Anchors out at a time, one to the Ibuthward, another to the S.W. becauic of the many hard Squals from the Shore, which come down every day after iz a-Clock, and lalt till Sun-fet ; and another Anchor to the N.E.'on account ofthcLand-Breczcs. You ride here in about i 2 Fa. Water, but take care to allow for a Shoal clofc under ^he Point on the Leeward fide. Cape Bliiicd is a high Clif?^ known by a great white Spot on the Rock dole to the Water's Edge. Juft under the Cape on the Lecwaid fide, there is x lin.nll Bay, where there is good anchoring in 14 Fa. clean Ground, and (which is rare for this Coaft) a quiet Sea : alio here is godd Filhiug, which makes great numbers of Baiks .ind Shallops frequent the Place.

The Mountains of Tombez, are Icen far out at Sea, 10 Ls beyond the Ifland of Santa Clara. The Courfe from the Ifland of Santa Clara to the City of G/z^/rf^w// lies E.N.E.efpecially. from 'Po/«? Arena in the llland of 'Puna^ which is within the Mouth of the River. Great Ships can not pals between Santa Clara and the Ifland of ''Pu- na, becaulc there are leveral Shoals call up by the Frclhes which come down from the Mountains by the Channel of the River. It is true, there arc fome Channels large enough, which have a liiflicient Depth of Water in them; but none ought to venture among them, who are not thorowly well ac- quainted. There is a Shoal of Sand about half way within the River up to Tuna ; it reaches near Mid-Channel over on the fide of the Ifland, and is difficult to avoid, unlels you have a com- manding Gale to keep in that Channel, which is ncarcfl: the Main. This is on the Starboard fide as you go up : and there arc gradual ShoalingS on both fides, either to the Shoal on the Larboard fide, or to the Main on the Starboard, keeping in from 4 to 7 Fa. The Courl'e clear of all is N.E. up the Channel, bearing about 2 large Ls off of Point Jrcna, where it is bold^ and fo quite athwart, till you get 2 Ls higher than the Point. When you come againft, or a little above a chalky Cliff, near the upper end of the Ifland of Tnua^ you mud haul over iot the Ifland, and come to anchor before the Houles. That high Point is eafy to be known, bccaule all the other Land on the Ifland is even with the Water, and ellcwhere is all over- grown with Trees : the only Channel for Ships is under the Starboard Shore. Tis 8 Ls from the Point /l?c7ia to the Town of 'Puna, which lies on the upper end of the Ifland. 'Tis certain great Ships may go quite up to the Town of Guyaquil, becaule they build Ships of 400 and 500 Ton at the very Town. From this Ifland of ^anta Clara in the Offing of the River of Gnayaquil, to the Point of Santa Helena, the Courlc is N. vV, croiling the Mouth of th'^ River Guyaqnil : Pnnta dc Siiutcj Helena lies in Lat. 2 d. 15 m.

There is a little Town jull upon the very Point, and you may come to an Anchor right .1- gainlt it, in fight of the Houfes, in 4 Fa. bu: then you ricLr there without any Shelter ; but about a L and -; from tiiat Pome there is a Harbour, where you have good Anchoring, and rhc: Land low and flat to the Shore.

The Bay of Bucno Ventura ought to be dcfcribM as fully as can be. When you cntci- the Bay from the fcav/ard, if thcWca*.hcr be clear, you will fee within the Land a high Ridge of Moun- tains, with a kind of Peak on the Middle ; then to the louth- ward of that Hill another thicker Hill, very high, call'd do las Alinas^ or of the Mines ; and fl:ill to the louthward an- other round and fl:cep, like a Sugar-loaf Thele are your Marks for the Entrance into the Bay. When you go forward towards the Bottom of the Bay, yoit will fee the Opening of a River ; this is the Rio de Bucno Ventura: There is not Water for great Ships ; but Boats and Shalops ufually go in for Trade. When you enter the River, you will know it by this very Angular Mark, vrz>. That there is a great Tree which grows in the Middle of tho.

Another Mark, and the mod to be taken notice of, is, that near the Mouth of the Port there is a great Ledge of Rocks lying along the Coaft a L in length, and running alio another way a L out into the Sea ; which you mull be very careful of. From Port /^<'///j the Coaft, which is very full of Points and Bays, and therefore of difTercnt Bearings almoft for every L, bears W.N.W. and E.S.E. to Point St. Catherines^ dift. 8 Ls.

From this River to Realvjo is 8 Ls, the Coiirfe N W. or N.W. by W. Here begins a high Rij!i;c of Land, running a- long with the Sea for 3 Ls in length, plain on the Top, and linooth like a Carpet, but a little rounding in the Middle ; ic is caird the Level of Tojla, or the Rni^c nf'Tojia. Over rhis Ridge you fee the Volcano of Teitca^ bearing with the Ridge N.N.E. and S.S.W. From the northermofl Knd of this Ledge it is 4 Ls to Realijo N W. and S.E. the Shore flat and low, buc the Water deep and the Ground clean from Rocks or Shoals : Alio there arc in lomc Places good gradual Soundings at 15 to 20 Fa. 2 Ls out at Sea, and good clean Sand : And thus it is quite up as far as Tcij^uantcpeque. From the burning JV fountain Tclica, to the Volcano del Vtja, or the Old Alan's 6urfiini^ Alotoitaiii^ the dift. is 6 Ls; and there are two other Volcanoes between them, but not lb great, nor do they oiten ihioke. Between them is a long Range of hilly Ground, which may be laid to join the Volcanoes one CO another. A^.^. When wc fay the diflancc is fuch and fuch from any Port on the Coafl to any of thcfe burning Volcanoes, it is to be underflood of the Diflancc to the Shore oppo- fire to thofe Volcanoes, which are generally 6 to 9 Ls up within the Country. The Volcano Veja, or the Old Mans Mountain, lies 7 Ls up the Country, and bears with the Bar of Realcjo N.E. and S.W. This Port oi Realcjo is the nioft in ule for Shipping ot any in all theic Seas, clpecially between Acapuho and I^anama, Ships coming to it from all parts of the South-Seas. If you arc bound in, and ftand for the Bat from out of the Sea, you muft come up dole with the Land to dilcovcr the Harbour ; for the Coaft beiug all a low flat Country, and much over- grown with Trees, unlels you come io near as to fee thclandy Straud which lies all along under the Shore for 6 to 7 Ls j there is no dilcovering the Port. You mufl therefore be firfl fure you arc in the Latitude of the Bar, and when you are a-brcaft of the Port, fland ri'j,ht in, for which take this lure Mark : Bring the / 'olcano del l^eja to bear N.E. from you, and then ftand boldly with it for the Har- bour ; in that Couric you will foon lee a low Ifland about half a L in Corapafs, which is flat on the Top, and cannot be Iccn till you arc within a L of it. That Illaud lies in the very Mouth of the Harbour. That Ifland indeed flickers the Port, and makes it a Har- bour, for it breaks ofl' the Sea, which would otherwife conic rolling into the Harbour Mountains high. Lying thus in the very Entrance into the Harbour, it makes two Mouths or Channels into it, one to the S.E. and the other to the N W. the firft is by far the largeft, but the other the faucft and belt Chaunci, Sailing Directions for the Well Channel, cleared of Rocks, and the dccpcft Water ; fb that no Ships go in on the S.E. fiac but fmail Craft, Sloops. Barks and Pcriaguas, iif^. In the N.W. Channel you have 5 to 6 Fa. Water, and 4 at the lowcft Ebb. If you would go in, keep your Starboard- ftclc dole up to the very Rocks on the fide of the Ifland ; for there the Channel hes, which is very good but narrow, and not above half a Cable over. If the Wind happens to blow at S.W. as you are going into the Port, or over the Bar, you need not come to an Anclior tho it ihould blow hard ; for if there be but Day-li^ht enough, you may lead it up at pleafurc ; for rho it Ihould be an Ebt), and that of a Spring-Tidc, yet there V ill be Water enough. If you arc got in with your Broad fide to the IHand clofeup to the Rocks, and are at a lols, and cannot get a Pilot, for they are not always at hand, then let go your Anchor right with a Parcel of Ground in Spots, over-grown with Thirties and loofc Shrubbage ; and riding there till low Water, you will then lee the Flats in the Channel lie bare, and will know the better how to .ivoid them upon the Flood ; and (o may go up with lafety. Having thus markM out the Channel, weigh at about an Hour Flood, and ftrike over to the (andy Point which lies to- wards the Main on the Larboard-fide, for the Channel runs that way ; and keep on fo, founding all the way in 6 to 7 Fa. till you come up to that fandy Point : Then run along the fame Shore next the Point, and let go your Anchor in the mid- way over, for that is the bed of the Road. The Town is 3 Ls up the River : If you would go up with your Boat, there is another Courfc than that directed for your Ship, viz. Firft keep up to the N.W. or Larboard-fide of the River, as before, till you come to a Creek ; pais that, and hold on to another farther up ; pafs that alfo, till you come to a third, which Icems to be Imallcr than the other two. Go in there, and follow the Courfc of the Creek about 1 1 L, it will bring you up to the Towu, dole to the very Houles. From the Bar oiRealejo to Conjibtna is 1 2 Ls, the Coaft lying W.N.W. and E.S.E. When you depart Realejo^ fhapc your Courfc S.W. till pafl the Ifland de los Merr adores^ or oiSaW' yers^ which is 4 Ls from the Bar of Realejo, That Ifland is iinall and plain, and mufl be left to the N.E. Clofe to it, on the S.E. fide are two Rocks, and near them is the Mouth of a Creek, called alfo de los Aferradores^ or of the Sawyers ; up which. Boats can pafs at high Water. From thence the Shoals run out a L to Sea, one L beyond the Ifland de los A- fcrr/idoresy towards the N.W. and 2 Ls due N. up in the Inland Country there is a round Hill, the top looks as if it were cur off; 'tis called Meffade Roland^ that is, Orlandd'sTablc, From Me(fa de Rol.vid to la Confibina is 7 I s, the Coafl low anil wooded, and about a L up the Country is a Hill, which bears the Name alio of /^/ Confibina ; it was formerly a Volcano nr burning Mountain, and burfl open, finec when the upper Point has remain'd hanging as if it would fall over.

The burning Mountain of St. Saviour is 10 Ls from that of Sacatccolula, appearing over the Coaft of Tonela^ which is an indifferent even Ridge of Land. Four Ls to the weft ward of the burning Mountain of San Salvador, is a Hill near the Coaft, called Bernal ; and this and the faid burning Mountain bear from one another E.N.E. and W.S.W. At this Hill of Bernal commences the Coaft called de Las Italias, and the high Land of Tonela terminates : and from hence the low Lands on the Coaft run as far as Point Remedios, being 10 Ls, and is called the Coaft 'DelBalfamo, or of B'll- Jam, being a low Ridge level at the top, ftretching along the Sea-Coaft, and terminating before it comes to Point Remedios, Oppofuc to the end of this Ridge, bearing N. and S. with ir, is an upright Hill lying 3 or 4 Ls up the Inland ; it is flat at the top, and IS called the Iftand of It alias ; it is 7 Ls from the burning Mountaio of San Salvador towards the N.W.

Wind ra^;cs ; and from it runs a Rp'cr, which puts out many Ranks ot Sand towards the N.W. and there isagi'.at Surf on rhcm, tho the Sea docs not run very high on the reft of the Coatl, all this Country about being liable to Inundations. Three Is up the Inlind are ibme higher Grounds which louk like lilands, the Water often flowing about them when the Krclhcs or Floods from the Country are high. From Port M\fqu:ios^ to the Bar or Port of Tccuantcpeqnc IS 8 Ls : near the Bar is a parcel of lofty Hillocks, being Illands m the River, by which it is known where the Bar lies.

Here Ships take in the Cannon and othcrScores which are brought down bv the River oiitudfucalcn from the N. Sea, (there being but 9 Ls of Land Carriage between) for the u(e of Ships bound to the 'Fhilipptncs : The Ships that arc to crols this Bay of Tccudutepcquc uhially come to an Anchor, as has been fjid, at J^'-rii.iln, P'^rr M'.l)nitos, or any other Place about the Bay. When you arc to crofs this Ray of Tcctiantcpcqin^ be lure to keep as clofc und -the Land as you can, for the farther you arc out at Sea, the vvorfc it is ; and contend not with tho N.

When you arc half ov'jr the Bay towards the N.W^ the VVindscome larger, and you may ftccr due W, Vou ouglit to be but 2 Ls from the Land of Hcrnal, when you crois this Bay, and always keep up towards the Land, as above. From the Bar of //"-'/.v/z/f'/'M^r/^ to Las Sal'iutis^ or the Salt Tits, IS 6 Ls, the Cojll lying K.S.K. and W.N.W. At thcle Salt Tits the low Land terminates, and before them are two high Ro< ks. to the Landward of which is a Harbour for Ships. Hence they cjrr\ Salt to Tccuantcpcque for all the Inland Country. From S'liui'is to 'Puerto dc Los ^it\^elos, or 'Port of JIik^Ics^ is ; ^ Ls, the Coalt lying W. by N. and L. by S. from Salinas to ^hiatulco 25 Ls, all clean Anchoring-ground, and a lafc picalant CoalV From S'dnias to the Head-land of yl//r nlco i L. If you come in from the Sea- ward you'll fee 4 Mountains, the firfl next the Sea fomewhat low, but tlic others rife higher gradually behind one another ; on the lji;j,hcft is a burning Mountain towards the S.E. At the Foot of ail thclc Mountains is the Harbour of AcapiUco^ fpaci- ous and very fafc ; and a little without the Mouth of it is an Ifland; on the N.W. fide of this Ifland is a narrow Channel, at which Ships may fafely go in, for there is Water enough. When you Tiil iw on the S.E. fide, which is a wide Channel, you'll lee a Bank of Sand above Water, called *DcLGrifo\ leave it on your Larboard fide : but you muft keep clofc to it to fail in, and run very hard up with a little Point which lies there juft by it ; and you'll loon lee the Tow^n within. To the wcllward on the Shore you'll fee 2 little Rocks, which youmufl: avoid. Port Marquis flrctches out N.W. and S.E. the Mouth of It lies E.S E. and W.S.W. it is a fafc Harbour and very deep, having 20 Fa. Water within the Bay. The Marks to know it by arc the high rocky Land beyond it ; and next the Sea is a round Hill. Somewhat higher, oppofite to the Harbour, on the laid Hills, you'll ice fomc red and white Stones, which ap- pear as it were thro' a Mifl:. Obfervc the Land-marks well, for the Harbour lies up very clofe : Take I'pecial heed you mils not the Ifland. On both fides of Port Marquis, as far 2isAca' f>nlco^ the Shore is rocky for about 2 Ls, and on both fides of chcfc Rocks low Lands and landy Shores ; and in the midft oi" ihele Rocks is the Port of Acapulco. From the Port oiAcapulco to that oi Natividade or the Na- tivity is 70 Ls : the two Ports bear from one another N.W. and S.E. Coming out of the Port oiAcapulco to the wcftward, you'll Ice a ipacious Strand, extending above 24 Ls in length, all of it low Land next the Sea, and with many Palm-Trees m feveral Pla- ces ; it is called the Strand of Sttala^ or of ApufaguLa, At 18 Lsdifl. ixom Acapuko you'll fee a Spot of Mangroves higher than all the other Trees, about a L up the Inland, and tlretching out half a L along the Coaft, which is here called Tequcpa. Five Ls farther N.W. is an upright Point next the Sea, not very iofty ; the highclt part of it at a diftance looks like Iflands : Here is Shekel againfl the W. S.W.andS.Winds, which are the mod boiftcrous on this Coaft in Winter. When you are here you will fee a white Rock ftanding out a quarter of a L from the Laud ; there ib good Auchoriug-grouad between it and the the Illand, and inous, and the hIco arc abun- is 1 5 Ls, a (pa- Ij-, which others theie Fifherics ; Place general- aftcrly Wind, it the Coaft bears Ls ; and from n from the Sca- c Sea Ibmewhat one another ; ic S.E.

From thxsKxwcxoi Sac at Ilk a the Land trends away N.W. rug- ged next the Sea, with feveral Hills of moderate height, call'd Los Mattinas : This high rugged Land holds tor 25 Ls. Ju the higheft part of the Land, about half a L beyond ^V/iV?/'«/f^, you'll lee two Hills as it were little Dugs, very clofe together ; and when you are near the Land, bearing N. and S. with them, youMl difcover an indifferent high Rock, with a Spot of Strand like a Creek : When you bear N. and S. with it, you may difcern the white Church of a great Town call'd Tntnpan. You may anchor to the fouthward, between the River and the Strand, in 4 Fa. Water, clean Ground : And if you would go a Shore, make up to the End of the Strand towards the N.W. near the Stones, and you'll fee the way to the Town, which is inhabited by Indians. Four Ls to the N.W. o( Tfita/^au is a Point, indifferent high with a Parcel of Rocks by it, on the S.E. fide, which you will not fee unlefs near the Land. Between thcie Rocks and the Land to the S.E. is a piece of a Strand like a Creek, and a very green Valley : Here is good Anchoring and Shelter from the W. and N.W. Winds in 1 2 Ka. Water : The Place is caird Muibata* If you have Occafion to go a Shore, you'll find Indians, who generally refide there, andfoUowTillage : There you'll fee the River, which runs only in Winter, and the way which leads up the fame River to the Town, Handing on the Top of a Hill call'd Tomaro, Six Ls from this Town of Tomaro is a high Point reaching up perpendicular next the Sea, looking like an Ifland or fmall Head-land, call'd Tachifi : And here ends the Land above- mention'd call'd Motina. Tho this be rugged Lan J, like all the reft of the Coaft, yet there are Strands and Anchoring- Places, and Shelter from the N.W. Winds, which are the raoft boifterous along the Coaft during the Summer Sealbn. To the N.W. of this Point is plain Land, full of Mangroves : Keeping an Offing of about 3 Ls, from this Point you'll ice a Parcel of Ridges, or high Land, all Campain Country, it is call'd Colima. Among theie Ridges is a imooth Break running N.E. up the Country ; and if it be clear Weather, you may difcern thro' the farther part of the Break a burning Alountain continu- ally Iraoaking, and call'd the Burning Mountain of Colima j it is all covet'd with Cattle, and Orchards of Cocao. Eight Ls from the Valley of Colima, is a very rough Head- land call'd San Tiago ; and on the S.E. fide of it are two Hil- locks like Dugs : Between thofe Dugs and the Head-land of San Tiago is the Port of Salagua. In order to know this Port of Salagitay you are to obferve, that there is a very white Rock clinging dole to the Head-land of i3V/;/ Tiago^ which may beleen at 8 Ls diftance, whatlbever way you come towards it. Between this Rock and the oppofite Point being about 3 Ls diftance, is a Bay with a Strand : Farther up, it is all wooded. If you would put into this Pore of Saligna, ftand ftrait in for the Strand, for at the Ends of it there are two very good Har- * B b b bour$ ipo Sailing Direilionsfor bours.wlicrc many Ships ride ; they arc calPd Las Ca/Irfas, that is, the Creeks : That which is to the N.VV. of the laid Strand is alio very late, land-lock'd a^ainflall Winds, tho Imallcr than the other. In this Port of Sala^ua is a frcfli Water River, and there arc Plantains and Woods. As loon as landed, you'll Ice the Road that leads to Sti/a^^iMy which is a Land half from the Sea. Note, That between Sdld^ua and the irhtte Rotk is the Port of Sfjfif T.i'^o. i Six Ls N W. from the ff'hitr Rock is a little Head-land, which afar ofTlooks like anifland ; 'tis all craggy next the Sea, with a little Rock dole by it, which looks like a Sugar-Loaf. On the N.W. fide of this Rock is a Strand about a L in length, caird the 'Tort of NativhUd^ or the Nativity. At the End of the Coaft, which forms that Port, towards the N.W. is another Port, by the Natives call'd Alelaque, and land lock'd againft the N.W. theW. andS.W. Winds. Rare ; Ls from Port Mclaque is a Row of four or five Rocks above W ater, or Iniali naked Iflands, running from the Con- tinent, and ftretching oi^t N.W. and S.E. and if the Weather be fair, you'll (cc the Runitng Mountain ofCalima to the eaft- ward up the Country, fmoaking between thefe Rocks and the Port of Acapulcn, The Coaft lies E.S.E. and W.N.W.

Bctw ecu 2 and 3 Ls to the N.W. from theic Rocks is a low Pdint, with high Crags, and a little Rock, or bare Ifland, clofe to it, on the N.W. fide whereof is good anchoring under ihelrcr from the S E. to the S.W. At this Point runs in a Bay trending towards the N.E. about 8 Ls, where you'll lee two or three fmall low Iflands call'd the Iflands of Chametla ; be- tween which and the Continent is very good anchoring : The way in, is from the S.E. There is a Hmery belonging to the Town of the 'Pur i feat 10 fr, which lies 14 Ls up the Country. From thdc Iflands of (.hatnctla the Coaft runs to the N.W. a flrait Shore as far 2^CapeCorrientes^ or Currents.

All the Land to the N.E. and N.N.E. is low, and looks very plealant to the Eye : This Bay is 6 or 7 Ls in breadth ; and all the low Land, which is full of Guajazcs, belongs to the Liberty of the City ot Compoficlla. From Cajx: Corricntes to the Point ac the other End of the aforelaid Valley is about 10 Ls N. by E. and S.by W. The Point forms a round Head-land of an indifl'erent Si/e, which looks like an Ifland without any Trees on it, and is calld Point Tontcquc. In the Offing to the weQward of it, are two ihaall IHands calPd the Ifles of Touteque^ almod a L from tnc Continent : Ships may lafely pafs between them and the Shore.

N. of the Line, had almofl all the way the lame Winds, that is, from the E. by N.to E.N.E with no Variation worth naming thro' the whole Courfe : The Sum of their Voyage being to be drawn up thus. 1. Cape Lucas in Californta, from whence they took their Departure the 12th oi ydntKiry, lies in Lar. 23d. 30 m. N. Their Courle was S.S.W.andS.W. for 12 days, during which time they had thcWindlomcthing variable between N.W. and N.E. 2. In theic 1 2 days Sail they made their Southings 5 1 s miles, which brought them into Lat. i j. d. 30 m. 2. They kept on the 1 3th day W. half S. into Lat. 1 3 d. 3^^ m. and in this Lat. or within 20 m. of it over or under, they held the whole Courlc, andhad the Wind rtcddyar K.N E. 36 whole days, and within a Point of it all the reft of the time. By this keeping in a dired Run they certainly pcrfbrniM the Voyage in the fliortelt time of any that "-.-nt before them, (tho notof Ibme that have gone after, as wc ihalifceln its place) ha- ving had a firelh Gale all the way, and going away large before it, they run generally Ipeaking above loo miles a day, one with another, during thcwholeVoyagc ; for they were 59 days under Sail, and they lailed6ij?3 miles, which is 100 milesaday, and 293 miles over. The conftant Trade- Winds that thus reign (as the Sailors call it) between the Tropick, have alio this cfTc^, that now the Voyage is, generally Ijxraking, performed in the lame tunc, or near it, viz. in about 60 days; lb that thole who attempt this Run for the future, have nothing to do but to keep the lame 1. at. and they'll find the lame Winds : and this may lerve for S.nl- hig l^treEltons in general. But as wc have Ibmc Account of others, who have ftccrcd a different Courfe, and yet have had Succcls, it may not be im- proper to mention it, were it only to intimate, that if any now Auvcn- Sailing Directions for tW Ailvcntiircrs attempt fartlicr '' ":ovcrics in tholc Seas, they can HDC tail (common AcciJcu excepted) of performing it with Siicccis tiio it be perhaps the grcatcft Ocean in the World. Ill particular it is not to be doubted, but that if the Voyage froiii America to India were attempted m a more northerly or more loutherly Couric, it mi^'ht be perform'd, where the Winds arc variable as well as here, where they blow Trade and arc conftant to a Point ; with this Addition, perhaps, equally to the Aiivantagc of the Sailors, That tho the Run could not be made in lo Ihort a time, yet they would be liirc to meet with inhabited Coalls and Countries, (whether Ulands or thcCon- nneiit, is not material) where they would be certain to find flic ordinary Refrelhmcnts lb much wanted, viz. frefh Water, Wooti, Provifions or Fruits of Ibnie kind or other. The famous Lv Maire and his Company, of whom menti- on has been made in the Account of the Strait called after his Name, is an Kxample of this pall all Contradidion ; and his Journal has been publilhM in Holland many years ago. After he had lailed round the Terra del Fiio^^^o^ and come fair- Iv open into the South Sens, he did not (as is uiual with our Ships) Ihnd to the N.E. to make the Coaft o^ Chili and 'Perif^ where the Spaniards, who were Enemies, would be fiire to injure rather than relieve them ; but keeping aCourleducN. (in order to ge' "rovifionsand frelh Water, which they "reatly wanted, and^ 'frelh their Men, who were fallen illoy the Length and Ha.^uiip of their Voyiige) they made for the Ifland of ''fuaii Fernandes in Lat. 33 d 4H m. S. ilcre they were dilappointed of much of that Relief which tliey Ihould have had, by coming to an Anchor on the wrong fide of the I Hand, viz. on the S. fide ; and the Winds blow- ing conlhntly and very frefli eafterly and N.E. they could not recover the Watering-place, which is on the E. fide, nor lupply themlclvcs with Fruits and Provifions, as they might otherwilc have done, and clpecially could not venture to put their fick Men on Shore for their Relief, left they fliould be blown ofT, and not be able to fetch it up again to bring them away; where- as had they gone about on the W. fide behind the Ifland, they had been under the Land in ftill Water, the Land being high and becalms the Road: But coming on that fide which was o- pcn to the Wmd, they could never come to anchor near the bhore with their Ship, the Sea going ib high on that fide. Ikfides this, having fpent 5 days in ftriving to recover the Watering-place, they found that inftcad of that they drove 4 Ls to Leeward beyond the Ifland, notwithftanding all the Pains they took to get up again to it ; fo that at laft feeing it irapof- fible to be done, they gave it over. r ^ , r. . They had lent their Boat aihore indeed to lound the Depth on the other fide, had found 40 Fa. then 30, but with good Shoalin^sto 3 Fa. but being out of the Wind's way, and being unable to come to an Anchor becaufe they found no bottom, they contented themlelves with getting a Supply of fredi Water, and Ionic I ilh. and puriued their Voyage. ^ , ^ In this Diftrcis, and with a Scarcity of almolt every thing, idirs,, taking their Dc- have Coun might no do thcT fuppo impat of Ri thcr I almof But *tis tc W.'fr Roge) they ( 2. other two's for th way 1 Seas, iiaudi cithci they asW Tl their whic pofc ; what I. they ing t they were other terar hadt woul Whi( fair ; were 2. fuppc unac Peof cumi all f( The jedi dcrt. eclions for thi Southern Ocean. 191 ;as, they can ning it with c World. • the Voyage northerly or re the Winds radc and are qiially to the could not be :o meet with or theCon- ;rtain to find frclh Water, vhom mcnti- alled after his on ; and his ago. nd come fair- liual with our /// and VV?7/, lid be fiirc to [Tourlc due N. 1 they oreatly lien ill oy the for the Ifiand Relief which on the wrong Winds blow- hey could not e, nor liipply ight othcrwile put their fick be blown ofl^ I way; whcre- e Ifland, they id being high which was o- ichor near the :hat fide, to recover the : they drove 4 jg all the Pains :cing it irapol- jnd the Depth but with good ay, and being bottom, they eih Water, and fl; every thing, khvi tlicir have fearch'd farther into the Inland part, and fccn what the Country yielded, and till the People by time and good uiagc might have been brought to be familiar with them, they mij;ht no doubt have gotten both Water and Provifions ; for they law the Tracks of Cattle both large and Imall, and it was not to be fuppoled the People lived without frclh Water : But they were impatient to look farther, and having gotten a tolerable Store of Rain Water, they weigh'd and flecr'd away W.by N. to o- ther Iflands, of which they found almolt a continued Range, almofl all the way to the Moluccas. But not to enter iuto the Particulars of that long Voyage, 'tis to be oblcrv'd. 1 . That they met with this Ifland in a Run oi about 900 Ls W. from Juan Fernandes ; whereas on the N. fide. Captain Rogers and others found none under iiill 2000 Ls, that is^ till they came to Guam one of i\\q Ladrones. 2. That after they hadlail'd from this Ifland, they met with other Iflands in the fame Lat. or near it, almoft at every day or two's failing, and that even all the way to the Moluccas^ for they came not near the Ladroncs. 3. That from hence it is very probable, had they flood a- way N.W. from the firft time of their cntring into the South- Seas, and not have gone lb fa- N. as the Ifland of '/^''^'V fer- iiaUi! X in Lat. 33. they would have met with other Land, cither Ifland or Continent, within a much Icfs Run, fo that they mij,ht have had frequent Supplies as well of Provifions as Water. The "Dutch Journal is full of the Delcriprion of the People, their Proes or Boats, manner of Sailing, Habits, Cuftoms, ^c^ which takes up a great part of the Work, but is not to our pur- pofe ; and therefore we fhall omit all that, and only oblcrvc what is material, to the Sailing Part. 1. It is certain that by finding fb many Iflands in their way, they fpentmorc rime upon the Voyage, and inflead of perform- ing the Run, qls the T)iike and'Diac/je/s did, in two jMonths, they were full four Months: But then on rhc other hand, they were not expolcd to the Dangers and Extremities wJnch the others fiilTer'd, and were like to have lijfTer'd for want of Wa- ter and Provifions, and by Leaks and other Dilaflcrs ; which, had they met with Iflands and Harbours, as the 'Dutch did, would have been prevented, or the Want fbon llipplied: Which could nor be done in the Ocean, where the Wind tho fair yet generally blowing hard, the Sea went hij^h, and they were forced to pump night and day for the whole Run. 2. As to the length ot the time which they ipcnr, it may be fuppoled to be much longer, bccaufeof their being lb entirely unacquainted with the Courfe they were to fleer, and with the People they were to converfe with, not to mention other Cir- cumftanccs, which after one Voyage or two would have been all fb plain, that they could never have taken a Step m vain : The length of time therefore fpent in the Voyage, is no Ob- jcdion againft attempting the like for the future. ;. It is to be confider'd, that /f AA/m' was upon an Xhi- Oc- dcrtaking for Difcovery rather than Commerce, and therefore ■J 1 11 IILI cyclic about on the W. fid; behind the Ifland, they hid been under the Land in ftill Water, the Land being high and becalms the Road : But coming on that fide which was o- pcn to the Wind, they could never come to anchor near the Shore with their Ship, the Sea going (b high on that fide. Bcfidcs this, having fpent ^ days in driving to recover the Watering-place, they found that inflcad of that they drove 4 Ls to Leeward beyond the Ifland, notwithftanding all the Pains they took to get up again to it ; fo that at lad feeing it impof- fiblc to be done, they gave it over. They had icnt their Boat aftiore indeed to found the Depth en the other fide, had found 40 Fa. then 30, but with good Shoalingsto 3 Fa. but being out of the Wind's way, and bein(> unable to come to an Anchor becaufe they found no bottom, they contented themlclvcs with getting a Supply of frefh Water, and iomc Filh. and purlijed their Voyage. In this Diftrcls, and with a Scarciry of almofl every thing, they began their Voyage for the Ea(i Indies^ taking their De- parture trom Juan Fernandesy and (landing away W. and N.W. andlbraetimes W. by N. This had been a piece of Defperati- on, not to be accounted for by Men of common Senie, had ihcy not depended upon meeting with variable Winds and in- habited Countries in their Voyage ; for if they had been to make a Run of 2000 Ls, which was the lead of the Voyage, in the Condition they were then in, the Men mud have all perifh- cd for want of Water, as well as Food, Nor is it ealy for thole Ships, which perform the Voyage in the other Latitudes within the Tropicks, to carry frefli Water, and furnilh other Provifions in thole hot Climates, liifficient for a Run of 3 Months, as was at fird the Cafe : and the linke and '^Dutchtfs found themfelves almod at the lad Gafp, when they fird made Land at the I Hands of the Ladroncs^ having nei- ther Water nor Bread for 10 days more, altho they unexpedt- cJiy found near 3000 Weight of BreaJ more than they knew of in one of their Ships. But to return to Le Maire and his Company .• they weighM from Juan I'cruandcs^ and having but a flcnder Store of Pro- vifions and Icfs of Water, let fail for the Kaji Indies^ danding N.W. till they pad the fouthward Tropick, and came into the Lat. of 19 d. In this Lat. or between 1 5 and 20 d. they failed from the 5 th oi March to the loth o{ y^pril, when early in the Morn- ing they made Land, lying N.W. and N.W. by N. from them, did. about 3 Ls, which they loon underdood to be an Ifland. About Noon they got to this Ifland, and cading their Lead with intent to come to an Anchor, they found no Ground at fird, till rowing with their Boat about the Ifland, they liad Ground at 25 Fa. about a fmall Musket-lhot from the Shore, where they came to an Anchor and went afliore, but to their '^reat Diicomtort tound no Water or any thing cKc for their Re- lief, the People flying from them frighted and amazed.

As to the length of the time which they fpcnt, it may be fuppoled to be much longer, becaufeof their being fo entirely unacquainted with the Courfe they were to fteer, and with the People they were to converfe with, not to mention other Cir- cumftances, which after one Voyage or two would have been all fo plain, that they could never have taken a Step in vain : The length of time therefore Ipent in the Voyage, is no Ob- jedion againft attempting the like for the future. 3 . It is to be confider'd, that /e Maire was upon an Un- dertaking for Difcovery rather than Commerce, and therefore was not (o much engaged to make the beft of his way, as is the Cafe in Voyages of Trade : And this occafion'd his ran^- uig from one Ifland to another, and from the Lat. of 18 d. S. to that of 4 or 5 d. N. Whereas Rogers and Cook kept the whole Voyage in almoft a diredi Run, in the lame Lat. one Degree over or under. We have alfo a more modern Globe Girdler, who has per- formed this Voyage in lefs time than any that ever went before him, at lead that we have an Account of, namely, Captain Sbelvock: He has lately publifli'd his Voyage round thcWorld, and, if it may be depended on, performed it between the 1 8th of Augujl and the beginning of Oiiobcr^ which at moll is but fix Weeks. This was certainly fuch a Run as was never heard of before, being above 6000 Miles in 42 Days, that is, 150 Miles in 24 Hours, one Day with another. Both Rogers and Shehock^ following the Steps of Sir Fra. T>rake as to the Land they pointed to, made the Ladrones as the firll Land, after their Departure from Cape St. Lucas in California^ tho they did not keep in the fame Latitude ; whereas Ic Maire made the lower Iflands on the Coaft of Neiv Guinea, (leering to Gilolo and the Moluccas, and came not near the Ladrones at all. We have been told (and with good Authority) that the fa- mous Magellan, of whom we have jpokcn lb often , making his Voyage f-om the 67m^/7^j- called by his Name, fiifl made thole Ifland'?, and was the firft Dilcovcrer of them, and rhat he gave thorn their Name, viz, the Ladrones^ or tlic Ifuiuds of Thieves ; and that hefaiPd from thence to the MauHL's, as they are now called, or the Philippines. That he did lb is certain, and that there he loft his Life ; but whether he was tiic firft that dilcovered them is not fo certain : However, tliis Iceras out of qucftion, viz. That he was the firft that laii'd this Voyage, and came to them this way, and mark'd out the way for thofc which came after hini.

Wc can not indeed lay pofitively, that no fuch Rivers are, or have been found ; but this may be faid on good Grounds, that no fuch Sea has been found out, nor any liich Coaft dilcover'd where the Mouths or Openings of any fuch Rivers are to be leen : and therefore we may venture to fay, that the World as yet knows nothing of it, and confequently no Account can be expected of it. Some modern Geographers fay, tho without Authority, that the Spaniards after many unfuccefsful Attempts did at laft find a Paflage thro' the Sea of California ; and in their Maps they call this the Northern Streight of California^ which they block up with an Ifland, leavmg a Channel on either fide, all alike imaginary : for we can not hear of any that have been able to fmd that Opening, or to pafs that way after them. I come in the next Place therefore to ipeak of the Iflan ds of America, on this fide. And here I muft obferve, that if it is wonderful that there are ib few Rivers of any length, and that are navigable for Ships of Burden, on fo long a Coaft as aimoft for 2000 Ls; fo 'tis no Icfs wonderflil, that in all this Eaftcrn Part oi the great Southern Ocean, there are hardly any Iflandsof note, even for above 1500 Ls fquare ; that is to lay, take the Southern Ocean at a Medium, and fix the Center ot your Mcalurement at 700 Ls from the Main, and in the Lac. ot 34 d. S. and you have not any Ifland worth naming for ; 000 Miles every way, E.

I mull: again add here, for the Diredtion of all who may nave Occafion hereafter to fail into the South-Seas^ That it feems of the utmoft Importance to fiicha Voyage, to make a full Difcovery of this PafTage, which, if it be as the French have defcrib'd it, is made much lafer and fhorter than was ever known before, and no Ships for the fu- ture need be above 1 1 Days in going thro' from Sea to Sea, which they may do with infinite eafe and fafety, compared to the other PafTages, either that round Cape Horny or that thro' the reft of the Streight of Magellan ; for the nioft dangerous as well as difficult part of the Magellanic Streight is beyond that parting of the Channel, and'^to the weftward, being all that part which in Sir John Narborough's Account is calld Crooked Reach and Long Reach, the one being embarafs'd with Rocks and Iflands, and the other, tho clear in the Fair fpdjy having no Bottom even from Shore to Shore J fo that if you come to have a Storm upon a Leeward Tide, there's no Harbour to put in at, nor any Anchor-hold to ride in; but you mufl run back for Shelter among thofe difficult Places, which you thought you had cfcaped, and if the Wind be Ihort, or blows thwart, and there flands any Head-land in your way which you cannot weather, you go a-fhore inevitably among the Rocks ; whereas in this Pafliige you have Sea-room in the Channel it felf, a fliort Run to go thro*, good Soundings, with gradual Shoalings to both Shores, and very good Roads, Har- bours, and Side-Channels like Sounds running into the Land. or among the Iflands, where you may ride fhelter'd from any Winds. N. B. You arc out in the open South-Sea in lefs than 10 Hours fail, tho with but a moderate Gale of Wind. This I fpeak concerning this lefl^er Ifland, becaufe I think 'tis of the laft importance to Navigators on this difficult Voy- age, and asit really belongs to theprcl'ent Part : As this latter part of the Terra del Ffwgo is an Ifland by it felf, which it was never taken to be betbrc.We have no Survey of the outer Coaft of it, not can we yet tell what Ports or Harbours may be in it ; no Ships that I haVc heard of, having pur in, or been driven in there : Our Charts dcfcribc it full of Harbours, Iflands, Creeks, and Coves ; but wirh what Authority we yet know not : All wc can fay is.

Sir /yv/z/r/j therefore, knowing nothing of the great impor- tance of the Difcovery, finding an Extremity of Cold, aiicl his Mendilcontcnted at the Hardlhips they bore, was obliged to return, and put into a Port or Bay, which he found on the W. fide of the Ifland or the Main oi California, and in Lar. 38 d. where he refrelhM his People, got Wood and Water, rook Pol- fcflion of the Country in the Name of Queen J'Jiz,abc!h, caird it Meii; Albion \ and having got what Provifions the Place Sailing Directions for woulJafiord, came away to the fbnthward, coafting the fame fide of Gihfornta, or A r-j-' AWmt, to Cape St. Lucas, Bctuccn chat Bay where Sir Fra. "Drake winter'd, and CaPe dt Jjicas^ the Shore is full of Bays, and good Roads or An- choring-placcs, bur no Towns or Cities, as there are on the E. fide of the Gulph ; the Inhabitants being Savages, and for the molt part hving far within the Land, and not having fo much as a Canoe to go offto Sea in, tho they fifti very dihgentJy for the Supply of their Food. Cape Lucas lies N.W. ixomCape Coricntes, this latter being on the Coaft of AV-^ Mexico in Lat. 20 d. 28 m. The Ma- ntlla Ships in their Return from ihcThtlippines having coaft- cd the W. Shore of California to Cape St. Lucas, ftrctch over from hence S.E. by E. till they make CapeCorientes, and then go away S.and S by E. to Acapuko : the Mouth of the Gulph or Entrance of the Sea of California mud be here near 80 Ls ovcti but as there arc Ibme Illands lie ofTof the Shore on both fides, when you are farther N. fo the Gulph narrows to about 40 Ls.

'viz. 23 d. 1 1 m. almoft under the Tropick : alfb the I Hands de tres Marias lie in the O/fing, about the middle be- tween both Shores. Captain 'Dampier calls this Gulph the Lake of California^ tho 1 thmk improperly : He fays indeed, that it is properly a Channel or part of the Sea between the Ifland, that is, be- tween Caiifurnia, and the Continent. He adds, that it cither is not much known by the Spaniard, or is conceaPd by them, for fear the European Cruizers Ihould find out the way to the Minc&oi Mtxico. But I think the firft is the real truth, viz. that the Spaniards know little or nothing of the Gulph, cfpeci- aliy on the Californian fide : and as for the Privateers and Mines of Mexico, 'tis evident our Cruizers have often failed up iliat fide of the Main in order to attack them ; but as they lie far within the Laud, and that ihz Spaniards have generally a good Number of Troops to defend them, moll of the laid Crmzcrs have given over the Search, and thole that have at- tempted it have milcarry'd.

' The Strcight which we cnter'd was fair, and clean Irom Rocks, but very deep Water. We pad between the two Iflands, where we founded, but found no Bottom. We were no fooner thro' this Streight, but wc came into an open Sea ; and (ailed ftill northward, fuppofing we were got into the great northern Ocean.

' But while we narrowly obfervM the Coafl which lay thus before us, we perceived as we thought an Opening to the N.W. being on the fame Shore of Sauta Cr uz,'\ or the Land of California ; and being dcfirous to fearch it to the utmolt, wc alter'd our Courfe to the W. and W.N.W. and ft cod in near the Shore, running along by the Land N.W. in 60 Fa. Water, within a L of the Land ; holding this Courfe for 1 5 Ls, till we came to a large Opening which run into the Land Weft ; into which we entered for the length of 6 Ls, but found it to be only a Bay, tho very wide : fo that we were obliged to fleer N.E. at leafl; 1 2 or 1 5 Ls, to come clear of the Land, after which wc held on our Couric northerly and N.W. We afterwards fcarch'd diligently all the Coall, and went into every Bay or Sound, of which there were many, in hopes of finding fome way our towards the N.W. but in vain ; tho here wc faw no Land right before us, as we had done before. ' But having failed thus N.W. many Ls, at length to our Surprize wc found Ihallow Water ; and trom 60 fa. the Sound- ings flioal'd as wc went on to 11 Fa. then to 10, and the Water thick, black, and muddy : at length wc had but 5 Fa.

It is our unhappincfs, that Sir Francis 'Drake's Account of this Coaft is rather fiird with a Relatioii of the People, the Re- ception he met with among them, the long Story of their Kmg, and of his taking his Surrender of the Country to Queen Eiiz,abctJ), and doing homage to her, than with any Delcrip- tion of the Coaft, the Bays, Rivers and Harbours, or the Soundings. Depths and Dangers on or near the Shore : lb that we gather little from him, but that he was in liich a Latitude, found iiich a Harbour in a deep Bay, and ftay'd thereto careen and grave his Ship. What other Accounts of this Ifland we have, is from a Spa- 7////' Journal of two Ships, which crofting over from St. lago nude the Bay oi Santa Crnzc on the E. Shore of California^ and anchor'd there in 2 5 Fa.

And here alfo, upon our coming within 5 Ls of the Land, we found as little Depth as before ; fo we came to anchor a- gain, and rode aii Night in 5 Fa. and here from our Topmalfc Head wc could perceive a high mountainous Country on the N.W. running crols eaftward, as thofe had done to the well- ward, and joyning the Mountains on the fide of the Main. * Having thus fearch'd both Shores, and finding it all Ihoal Water beyond us, we concluded to ftcer our Couric back to the Streight which we had pafs'd ; and accordingly tack'd a- bour, and for 3 days failed S.W. anchoring at Night in 1 1 Fa. Water. By this Account there was found an Opening, and a Streight vith a Paflage thro' ; but it icem'd only a Palfage out of one Gulph into another, and that the outer Part, iho large 00, wasfmall compar'd to the other; fo that they foon found herafelves embayM, and llir'^unded with ihaTcrra Firma of America. So that unlcis there was Ibmc Channel which they could not perceive, the Laud o( CaZ/fonua muH join to the Continent on that fide. It is alledg'd indeed that they did fee a Channel on the W, fide, which, from the Topmaft-head of their Ship, and with the help of the Suu-lhining on the Water, they could perceive crolTing a flat Country to the N.W. but not fuch as to be navi- gable : in which Calc California might be an Ifland, and yet no way or Pafljgc pradlicablc for Ships to be found into any other Sea. To come then to the Weftern Shore, there the Sea no doubt goes on N.W. and N.E. much farther than has yet been dif- covcr'd, becaulc no Ships have been known to lail that way higher than Sir Fra.
