146 * A VOYAGE TO Book IV, 



eleven at night, we left the (hip at anchor, and went 

 to the ciiy in a boat ; and, at five in the evening of the 

 25lh, by the vigour of our rowers, we arrived at 

 Guayaquil, notwithftanding the flrength of the tide 

 againll us. Here we immediately applied ourfelves 

 to fettle the pendulum ; but our diligence was en- 

 tirely fruñrated, tiie air being fo filled with vapours, 

 that nothing was to be feen.

 we obferved in different parts of the South Sea, in 

 the lame order with thofe obferved from Cadiz to 

 Carthagena.
