'778- with during the fog; and we named it Foggy Cape. It lies 



i_ ""^' ' in latitude 56° 31'. At this time, having had but little wind 



all night, a breeze fprung up at North Weft. "With this we 



flood to the Southward, to make the land, feen in that di- 



redtion, plainer. 



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

 leagues in compafs; lying in the latitude of 56° 10', and in

 Weft, a little Southerly. In the afternoon, we had little or no

 the evening, the coaft extended from South Weft to North
