Discovery of Enderby Land. 
Nov. 27, 1830.—On the 27th, having completed our water, etc., 
weighed and made sail to proceed for our southern voyage with the 
wind northerly. Moderate, but rather hazy. At 4 p.m. the entrance to 
Berkeley Sound bore west about thirteen miles, when I took sights for the 
chronometers, and took my departure from lat. 51° 33’, long. 57° 31' 15", 
and the instructions given tome by my owners being, if not inconvenient, 
to visit the §.E. part of Sandwich Land—and the Aurora Islands having 
been sought for in vain by Captain Weddell—I thought it advisable to 
shape a course a few miles to the northward as laid down by the 
Spaniards, he having made many courses to the southward. On the 
28th, our latitude at noon was 51° 57', longitude by chronometer, 
54° 34'0" W. The wind during the night freshened at N.N.W., with 
thick weather. 
Nov, 29.—On the 29th, in the forenoon, passed some patches of kelp. 
Hazy weather during the whole of these 24 hours. The weather be- 
came thick towards midnight, and the wind hauled round gradually to 
the N.W., and at noon on the 30th blew a heavy gale at W.N.W., when 
T hauled up E.N.E., to avoid danger to the southward. At 2 p.m. ob- 
served the cutter round to, when we took in the foretopsail and foresail, 
and hove to under balance, reefed mainsail and foretrysail, At 8 p.m. 
lost sight of the cutter, but on the morning of the 1st December spoke 
her, and found she had shipped a sea which carried away part of her 
bulwarks and stove one of her boats. We likewise, unfortunately, on 
the night of the 30th November lost our jolly-boat from the stern, the 
hook of one tackle breaking and the bolts drawing off the boat’s stern. 
Moderate breezes from the 8.W. with a heavy sea from yesterday’s gale. 
Many albatross and other birds in sight. The observed latitude at noon
