XL Remarks and Obfervations made on 

 board the Ship Kelfall, on a Voyage to 

 Judda and Mocha, in 1769, by the 

 Same. 



Read March 12, TTjSj mv run f r0 m Socatra to Cape 

 I772, X Aden, I made the did. 8° 20' W. 

 and from Cochin 29 39' W. The latitude of the 

 above Cape is laid down in mofl books and charts 

 in 1 3 N. which I find is about 15 miles too much 

 to the northward, according to the obfervation I 

 took on the 10th of February 1769, as well as three 

 other very good obfervers : by the medium of the 

 whole we made the latitude 12 41/ N. the Cape 

 then bore N. N. W. J W. dift. 5 miles which gives 

 near 4/ of latitude $ that, added to 12 41/ N. 

 gives 12 45' N. for the latitude of the foutherntnofr. 

 point of the Cape. 



This cape, or headland, is one of the moft re- 

 markable I ever faw, when coming from the east- 

 ward -, it is fo very high and rugged, that it may be 

 feen, I believe, 15 leagues at leaft, in fine weather. 

 The tops of thofe ragged rocks referable fo many 

 chimneys and fpires ; and ? as you approach the 

 cape, you fee a zigzag wall, or whitifh pathway, 

 cut through the rocks, not at a very great diflance 

 from the waterfide; a little below this, at the S. E.
