next day we were able to weather Monk Rock, which lies 

 to the southward of Suderoe, at the extreme end of the 

 Faroe Islands. This rock was a high narrow pinnacle, 

 resembling a craft under canvas, similar to Rockall with

 appearance. The Monk Rock has now disappeared. A 

 few days afterwards we arrived at Lerwick, discharged our 

 Shetland men, and with the first fair wind started for Hull, 

 thus ending another voyage.
