At four o'clock in the afternoon of Friday the 9th 

 of February, we tacked, and stood S. W. till eight 

 o'clock the next morning; when, being not above 

 three or four miles from the shore, we stood off two 

 hours, and then again S. W. till noon, when, at the 

 distance of about two miles from the shore, we had 

 twenty-six fathom water. 



We continued to make sail to the southward till

 carried us back again the length of Cape Palliser, of 

 which as the weather was clear we had a good view.
