ABSTRACT

It is however remarkable Bougainville met with storms & rainy, foggy weather, off the coast of the Louisiade, as he calls it; & Quiros had here stormy weather & Squalls with rain Be fogs; so that it seems this weather is peculiar to this part of the world.2 Capt Cook in the Endeavour had allways blowing & foggy weather on the coast of N. Holland.
