made this Voyage four Times, and the Reckonings we 
made aboard, amounted only to 390. I have made 
therefore the Meridional Diftance betwixt this Place 
and Cape Carthage 350 Miles; (allowing 48 to a 
Degree of Longitude) for as this whole Courfe is 
not upon the fame Parallel, we may very well allow 
40 or 5”o Miles for the oblique Sailing ; becaufe the 
Courfe is in 37 Degr. lo Min. N. Lat. but Algter 
lies in ^6 Degr. 48 Min. and the Guletta in 36 Degr. 
40 Min.

then lofe no Time or Opportunity of making what 
further Difcoveries I can in thofe Parts, and of lay-

going to give you fome Account of.
