from the ftiore, the depth of water was fixty two fathoms. ' ^-— i 



From this flation, a lov/ point of land made its appearance 

 beyond Two-headed Point, bearing South, 69° Wefl ; and, 

 without it, other land that had the appearance of an ifland, 

 bore South, 59* Weft. 



At noon, on the 13th, being in latitude s(>' 49'> Cape St. Bar- Suurdayij. 

 nabas bore North, ^2* Eaft ; Two-headed Point North, 14" 

 Weft, fevcn or eight miles diftant; and the coaft of the con- 

 tinent extended as far as South, yai." Weft ; and the land feen 

 the preceding evening, and fuppofed to be an ifland, now 

 appeared like two iflands. From whatever quarter 1 wo-- 

 headed Point was viewed, it had the appearance of being an 

 illand; or elfe it is a peninfula, on each fide of which the 

 Ihore forms a bay. The wind ftill continued Wefterly, a 

 gentle breeze ; the weather rather dull and cloudy, and the 

 air fharp and dry. . 



We were well up with the Southernmoft land nest morn- Sunday 14.; 

 ing, and found it to be an ifland, which was named Trinity 

 IJlandi Its greatcft extent is fix leagues in the diredlion of 

 Eaft and Weft. Each end is elevated naked land, and in 

 the middle it is low ; fo that, at a diftance, from fome points 

 of view, it afliimes the appearance of two iflands. It lies in 

 the latitude of ^6° 36' and in the longitude of 205'; and be- 

 tween two and three leagues from the continent; which 

 fpace is interfperfed with fmall iilands and rocks ; but there 

 feemed to be good paflTage enough, and alfo fafe anchorage, . 

 At firft, we were inclined to think, that this was Beering's 

 Foggy IJland^ \ but its fituation fo near the main docs not fuic 

 his chart.
