take all the Dimenfions o( it. And as our defign was 
to go alhore upon if, it potiible, we went dire&ly to it 5 
to do which, we were obliged to pafs over a Place, 
where the Sea fmoak’d very much, but did not bub- 
ble. We were no (ooner come to this Place, but 
we perceived a Heat (trike upon our Faces 5 which
