Capt. Legge obferves, that in attempting to pafs 
Cape Horn , they thought themfelves to have been 
more to the Weft ward than they really were: By 
which Miftake, turning too foon to the North, they 
fell in with high Lands, and met with thofe Mif- 
fortunes, which, if they had kept out more at Sea, 
might probably have been avoided. By comparing 
the Longitude at St. Catharine’s, as above fettled, with 
Senex’s Maps, the Coafts appear to be placed about 
6 Degrees too much Eaftward ; and if the other Parts of 
America about the Cape are laid down as faultily in 
the Charts, this Error will probably account for their 
Misfortunes.
