APPENDIX. No. VIL. 495 
Remark. For some days past we have invariably had a light breeze from $ 
SW to SSE, which springs up about 5 o’clock in the morning, and generally 
ends about 10, though sometimes so late as 11; it is then calm till one or two 
in the afternoon, when the sea breeze sets in at SW, or S W b. W, light, and 
about an hour after it has commenced it generally carries us 3 or 34 knots, 
gradually gathering strength and drawinground to W, and sometimes to WN W ; 
again hauling round to WS W an hour or more before it falls catn. ‘The 
time of its falling calm appears to depend on the time of the sea breeze setting 
in; this breeze generally lasts about 9 or 10 hours, but in one or two instances 
we had it 12 or 14. 
May 30th. At daylight calm, dark, and cloudy; saw the, land, but could 
not distinguish any particular or known point: current running N N E 13 knot 
an hour. At noon still calm; observed in lat. 5e 2’ S. lon. 12° 15' E extremes 
of the land from S E1E to N E ZN, about 11 or 12 miles, current the same as 
at daylight. 
There can be no doubt of the point before described being Indian point, as 
we are this day to the southward of its situation in every chart; and have not 
seen the least appearance of such a bay as that of Loango, between the land we 
are now abreast of and the above point. Horsburgh, in his chart, places Indian 
point in lat. 5° 0'S, which makes it 2 miles, Arrowsmith i8, and Laurie and 
Whittle 10 miles all too far to the southward, supposing 4° 35! to be the lati- 
tude, which f am certain is very near the truth. 
At3 P.M. the sea breeze came in at Wb. S, with which we weighed and 
made sail, at half past 10 falling little wind, came to in 11 fathoms, muddy bot- 
tom, scarcely any current. 
June Ist. At daylight observed we were abreast of a river with a very fine 
entrance ; a light breeze springing up, we shifted a little off shore, but falling 
calm, anchored again at 9; about 10, two canoes came along side with 8 natives 
in them, one of whom spoke tolerably good English, and said he came to in- 
form us the Mafouk or governor of Malemba was coming on board ; from the 
information of these people it appears this river is called Louango Louiza, and 
not, Louiza Louango as m the charts; and on enquiring after the river Ka- 
congo, they knew nothing of it, declaring there is no other river between Lo- 
ango Bay and Malemba, than Louango Louiza: when we enquired what river 
the town of Kinghele was situated on, they called it Chimbélé, and said it stood
