14 Khitrov's journal: "When we drew nearer we inquired whether they still agreed 

 to go on the northerly course since we had not yet gone in that direction as far as we had

 was fair and, when it was not, we should keep more easterly." See also the journal of the 

 St. Paul under June i8 (p. 287).
