A Voyage, &c 



Being affured of the Place where we were, by fuch cer- 

 tain Tokens, we made for the Port of La Conception^ di- 

 ftinguifliible by the Ifland of Quiriquina, two Leagues 

 North of the Dugs. That Ifland is fomewhat lower than 

 the Continent, with which it forms two Paflages : That 

 to the W. S. W. is not very good for large Ships, tho' 

 paflable in Cafe of Neceflity ; but unlefs well known, it is 

 dangerous venturing along a Ridge of Rocks, which ad- 

 vances far towards the Middle of it. 



The N. E. Palfage, being half a League wide, and clear 

 of any Danger, we enter'd the Bay at Night, and very op- 

 portunely ; for the N. W. Wind fliifting to E. N. E. would 

 have hinder' d us turning the Ifland half an Hour later. We 

 anchor'd in 15 Fathom Water, the Bottom foft black 

 Owze, South of the Point call'd Herradura, on the Conti- 

 nent, and S. E. and by S. of that of £uiriquina y which, witji 

 that above-named, forms the Entrance.
