A VOYAGE TO 



The following nautical observations were made while we 

 lay here : 



Harbour of Macao, - Lat. 22 12' o" North. 



Long. 1 1 3 47' o" Eaft. 



Anchoring-place in the Typa. Lat. 22 9' 20" North. 



Long. 113° 48' 34" Eaft. 

 Mean dip of the North pole of 1 

 the magnetic needle - J 



Variation of the compafs - - o° 1 9' o" Weft. 



On the full and change days it was high water in the 

 Typa at 5" 15°, and in Macao harbour at 5" 50"". The greateft 

 rife was fix feet one inch. The flood appeared to come 

 from the South Eaftward; but we could not determine 

 this point with certainty, on account of the great number 

 of iflands which lie off the mouth of the river of Canton.
