120 OS BECK'S VOYAGE. 



The 28th of May, 38 . 24'. N. L. 



Storm. Cloudy in the forenoon ; but ge- 

 nerally clear afterwards. In the forenoon we 

 were on the latitude of Fayal, which, as well 

 as the other Azores, belongs to the Portugueze. 

 We then failed acrofs the longitude, till we 

 faw the Pico of Fayal, on the 30th of May at 

 four o'clock in the afternoon; but the 3 ill 

 we pafi~ed the Pico of Fayal and St. George, 

 which lie in 3 8°. 38'. latitude. The fhips 

 had orders to flop at Fayal, and to make en- 

 quiry concerning the Hate of Europe : but on 

 account of the llrong wind it was thought ex- 

 pedient to fail on. I therefore milled of a 

 great number of unknown plants, which are 

 undoubtedly to be met with in thefe iflands, 

 lying almofl: in the middle between Europe, 

 Africa, and America. 



The ill of June, 41°. 10'. N. L. 



Clear weather; and likewife cloudy. Briffc 

 Contrary wind.
