From the (hip's place at 6 P. M. run about 68 

 min. S. S. E. by the compafs, and then made a low 

 long fandy ifland bearing S. W. about 8 miles on the 

 fame more, on the South end of which are breakers 

 that may be feen 8 or 9 miles j the middle of this 

 ifland lies in or near the latitude of 16 42' N. from 

 thence to Jebbel-Tar the diftance is 128 miles, in a 

 direct S. E. courfe by the compafs. 



Thus fheweth the ifland of Jebbel-Tar, when it 

 bears W. by S. dift. about 10 miles ; Tab. V. fig. 5. 



From Jebbel-Tar to Jebbel-Zeker, the courfe is 

 by the compafs S. E. by S. diftance about 100 miles: 

 the pafTage to the Weftward of it I had been 

 informed was a very good one, but I find by experi- 

 ence it is not fo good as that to the Eaftward of it ; nor 

 do I think it fo fafe to go that pafTage in the night, 

 except you are clofetothe illand before it is dark, and 

 well to the Southward of the large Jebbel-Zeker, fo 

 that you can fee the Southernmoft of the fmall. 

 Jebbel-Zeker Alories, as I found a very ftrong cur- 

 rent fetting upon the Abyffinian fhore, and to the- 

 Southward withal. On the evening of the 4th of. 

 Augufr. at fun-fet, the large Jebbel-Zeker bore E. 

 by S. diftance about 4 leagues, and the Southernmoft 

 one S„ S. E» half E. Having a very fine wind, and 

 wanting to- be at Mocha very much, I carried a mo- 

 derate fail, and fleered from fun -let till 8 o'clock, South 

 about 7 miles, from 8 till 10 S. by E. 7 miles, from. 

 10 till 12 S.S.E. 7 miles, and then bore away, con- 

 cluding myfelf well to the Southward of all the 

 iflands of Jebbel-Zeker Aloriej and indeed had my 

 draught been gcod, and had I met with no current, I . 

 flaould have been clear of every thing according to ■ 



my.
