In the W. part there is a hill 50 fathoms M high, joining to 

 the continent on the N. fide, where there is another riling of 20, 

 both of which afford protection not only from the winds, but the 

 attack of an enemy. 



At the entrance of the port is a fmall ifland of confiderable 

 height, without a fingle plant upon it; and on the fides of the 

 coaft are high rocks, which are very convenient for difembarking"; 

 goods alfo may be fhipped fo near the hill°, that a ladder 

 may be ufed from the land to the veffel ; and near the fand are 

 many fmall rocks, which fecure the fhip at anchor from theS.E. 

 and S. W. 



We compleated our watering very early from the number of 

 rills which emptied -themfelves into the harbour ; we were like- 

 wife as foon fupplied with wood. 



We paid great attention to the tides, and found them to be 

 as regular as in Europe. 



We made repeated obfervations with regard to the latitude of 

 this harbour, and found it was exactly 41 degrees and 7 minutes 

 N. whilft we fuppofed the Longitude to be 1 9 degrees and 4 mi- 

 nute sW. of S. Bias. 



We had thus thoroughly inveftigated every thing which re- 

 lates to this harbour, except the courfe of a river which came 

 from the S. W. and which appeared whilft we were at the top 

 of the hill p . We took therefore the boat on the 1 8th, and 

 ' found that the mouth was wider than is neceffary for the difchargc 

 of the water, which is loft in the fands on each fide, fo that we
