WE rely on your knowledge, experience, and good con- 

 duct for the navigating part of the voyage, which is 

 entirely intrulled to you"; and though we have defired that 

 you advife with Mr Shaw on all difficult points, yet we give 

 you a latitude to follow your own opinion, though contrary 

 to Mr Shaw's, but we expedl you both enter a minute, and 

 fet forth your reafons for being of different opinions* 

 Should it be a point of confequence, we advife that you 

 confult with all the officers, and.their opinions are to be re- 

 corded. 



" We deiire that a fair log-book be kept, figned by the of- 

 ficer who leaves the deck at noon, in which book every re- 

 mark and. tranfadlion during the voyage is to be inferted, 

 and no erafures muft be made, or leaves torn out. Inclofed 

 is a letter from us to Captain Wedderburn of the Cuddalore, 

 dire(5ling him to follow fuch orders as he may from time to 

 tim^ receive from, you,«
