376 cook's voyage to junk, 



nent, extending from west south-west to north-east 

 by north ; and some elevated land, bearing south- 

 east half south ; by estimation eight or nine leagues 

 distant. The north-east extreme of the main was 

 the same point of land that we had fallen in with 

 during the fog ; and we named it Foggy Cape. It 

 lies in latitude 56 81 '. At this time, having but 

 little wind all night, a breeze sprung up at north-west. 

 With this we stood to the southward, to make the 

 land, seen in that direction, plainer. 



At nine o'clock, we found it to be an island of 

 about nine leagues in compass ; lying in the latitude 

 of 56 1G', and in the longitude of <2<20 45' ; and it 

 is distinguished in our chart by the name of Foggy 

 Island ; having reason to believe, from its situation, 

 that it is the same which had that name given to it 

 by Beering. At the same time, three or four islands, 

 lying before a bay, formed by the coast of the main 

 land, bore north by west ; a point, with three or four 

 pinnacle rocks upon it, which was called Pinnacle 

 Pointy bore north-west by west ; and a cluster of 

 small islets, or rocks, lying about nine leagues from 

 the coast south south-east. 



At noon, when our latitude was 56 9', and our 

 longitude 201 45', these rocks bore south, 58 E., 

 ten miles distant ; Pinnacle Point, north north-west, 

 distant seven leagues ; the nearest part of the main 

 land north-west by west, six leagues distant ; and the 

 most advanced land to the south-west, which had the 

 appearance of being an island, bore west, a little 

 southerly. In the afternoon, we had little or no 

 wind, so that our progress was inconsiderable. At 

 eight in the evening, the coast extended from south- 

 west to north north-east ; the nearest part about eight 

 leagues distant. 



On the 17 th, the wind was between west and north- 

 west, a gentle breeze, and sometimes almost calm. 

 The weather was clear, and the air sharp and dry. 

 At noon, the continent extended from south-west
