was a small island to which I gave the name of Liguanea. Some of ^ 1802. 
Whidbey's Isles were still to be distinguished, and the bearings Thursfis. 
taken just before tacking were as under : 
Inner island near Point Avoid, - N. 31° W. 
Nearest part of the cliffs, - E. N. E. 
The sloping low point, - - S. 71 E. 
Liguanea Island, highest part, - S. 57 E. 
At seven in the evening, we came in with the land a little further to 
windward, and tacked at a mile and a half from a patch of breakers 
which lie N. 72 0 W. three or four miles from the sloping low point. 
This point was still the furthest part of the main land visible, the 
coast seeming from thence to take a more eastern direction. 
In the afternoon of the 19th, when the wind had returned to Friday 19. 
the south, we passed to windward of Liguanea Island, and saw it 
surrounded with many breakers on its south and west sides. The 
sloping low point was also visible ; and three miles further eastward 
there was a steep head, with two high rocks and one lower near it, of (Atlas,

34° 57' south, and longitude 135 0 38^' east. Before dark, we got 
sight of a hill situate upon a projecting cape, thirteen miles to the 
east-south-east of Cape Wiles, and observed the intermediate coast 
to form a large bight or bay, which I proposed to examine in the 
morning; and for that purpose we stood off and on during the night, 
with the wind from the southward. 
At daylight of the 20th, the hill on the east side of the bight Saturday 20. 
bore N. 68° E. five or six miles, and an island, named Isle TVilliams, 
was seen to lie two miles from it to the south-east. We steered 
north-west soon afterward, up the bight ; but in an hour were able 
to see the land all round, and that this place, which I called Slea- 
ford Bay, was dangerous with the wind at south-east, as it was then 
blowing. We therefore braced up, to work out; and at noon, our 
situation, with that of the surrounding lands, was as follows :
