Wilson's Promontory was no longer visible; but from the best 
bearings I had been able to obtain in such blowing weather, its 
south-eastern extremity lies in latitude 39 0 ni' south, and longitude 
146 0 24' east. 
Not seeing any more islands to the southward from the mast head 
we bore away east soon after noon, to make Kent's Groups ; and before 
three o'clock they both came in sight, as did an island to the north- 
ward, which seems to have been one of the small cluster discovered 
by Mr. John Black, and named Hogan's Group. The longitude by 
time keepers at this time was 146 0 5 8' east, and the following bear- 
ings were taken : 
Sir R. Curtis' Island, the peak, - _ N. 71* W. 
Hogan's highest Island, from the mast head, N. 5 E. 
Kent's large Group, south end of the eastern I. N. 70 E. 
Small Group, dist. 6 or 7 miles, hiding the 
north-west end of the large group, N. 52° to 45 E. 
In steering past the south sides of the two groups at the dis- 
tance of four to six miles, I was enabled to correct their positions ; 
and also that of the pyramid, which was set at S. 4^° E. ten miles 
at four o'clock. When these lands had been laid down in the 
Francis and Norfolk in 1798, it was without the assistance of a time 
keeper, and therefore liable to considerable errors in longitude. 
At five in the evening, I thought myself fortunate to get a 
sight of Furneaux's great island through the haze ; and also'of a 
small, craggy isle which had been before fixed relatively to the inner 
Sister. To obtain the positions of these places by our time keepers,
