1 /s^ J. Mayo, one of the C Verd’s. 
y?w.i^99-buttheir heighth made itfeem the lefs confi- 
derable ; for it looks moft remarkable to Ships 
that are to the Weftward of it. We had 
brisk N.N.E. andN. E. Winds from Te;??- 
riffe ; and faw Flying- fifh, and a great deal 
of Sea-thiftle Weed floating. By the 9th of 
Feb. at Noon we were in the Lat. of 1 5 d. 
4 m. fo we fleered away W. N. W. for the 
I. of Mityo., being by Judgment, not far to 
the E. of it, and at 8 a Clock in the Evening 
lay by till Day. The Wind was then at W. 
by S. and fo it continued all Night , fair 
Weather, and a fmall eafie Gale. All thefe 
were great Signs, that we were near fome 
Land, after having had fuch conflant brisk 
Winds before. In the Morning after Sun- 
rife, we faw the llland at about 4 Leagues 
diflance . But it was fo hazy over it, that we 
could fee but a fmall part of it ^ yet even by 
that part I knew it to be the Ille of Mxyo. 
See how it appear’d to us at feveral/^/Vtt’i, as 
we were compafling theE. the S. E. and the S. 
of it, to get to the Road, on the S. W. of it, 
[Table II. N°. i, 2, 3.J and the Road it felf 
[N". 4 ] 
I got not in till the next Day , Feb. 1 1. 
when I come to an Anchor in the Road, 
which is the Lee-ward part of the Ifland ; 
for ’tis a general Rule never to Anchor to 
Wind-ward of an Ifland between the Tro- 
picks. We Anchored at 11 a Clock in 14 
l^hom clean Sand, and very fmooth Wa- 
ter, about tliree quarters of a Mile from the 
Shore,
