ABSTRACT
Dureing the Night, the winds where light and variable, and at Daylight the Land was seen at the Distance of six Leagues, nearly in the same Point of view we saw it Yesterday, and at noon after a Calm of 3 hours the wind again sprung up from the North. We stood close in shore ’till seven oclock in the Evening to see if we could discover any harbour or Port of Safty, if only for a few hours, to stop the Ship while we pro cured a Boatload of wood, but found none, and with the winds light with an appearence of Calm we again stood off to Sea. At this time Cape Blanco Bore North: 6 or 7 milesS. Westerly of this Cape lye many Rocks and the farthest one appears to be 7 miles from the Shore.2 Three of these are very remarkable, being much alike in form, and the middle one having a high archway perforated through it, the Cape itself is Steep to the Pitch of it, and together with the Rocks answer well the description of the Cape Lookout of Mears’ but we cannot reconcile it to the Latitudes for this lies in 420: 47' N and his Cape Lookout is marked in Latt 450: 30'N.3
