CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. 1752. 75 



The 25th of March, 12 . 10'. S. L, 



Cloudy, and afterwards clear weather. 



Bonets {Scomber Yelamis) and Tunnys {Scorn- 

 her Thymus) were now caught again. We 

 ufed the Cuttle-fijh {Sepia Loligo) when we 

 could get it, for a bait. 



The Camellia, which I brought with me from 

 China, now began to wither. The tea-fhrub, 

 birds, and whatever is taken alive from China, 

 commonly die in the latitude of the Cape of 

 Good Hope, though it is the fame latitude as 

 Spain, or rather nearer the asquator. I do 

 not remember to have feen an entirely clear 

 horizon on the fouth fide of the line. 



The 30th of March, 16 . 63'. S. L. 



Almost clear; afterwards cloudy. Fa- 

 Tour able wind. 



A tropick bird flew very high as ufual 



hereabouts (Phaeton athereus).
