Land row trending away N. Eafterly, 699. 
and we being to the Norward of it, and 
the Wind alfo fhr inking from the S. S. E. 
to the E. S E. (that is, from the True 
Trade Wind to the Sea-Breeze, as the Land 
now lay) we could not get in with the 
Land again yet a- while, fo as to fee it, 
tho’ we trim’d (harp and kept clofe on a 
Wind. We were this . 9th day in Lat. 
21 deg. 42 min. The 20th we were in 
Lat. 1 9 deg. 5 7 min. and kept clofe on a 
Wind to get fight of the Land again, but 
could not yet fee it. We had very fiir 
Weather; and tho’ M'ewere fo far from 
the Land as to be out of fight of it, yet 
we had the Sea and Land-Breezes. In the 
Night we had the Land-breeze at S. S. E. 
a fmall gentle Gale , which in the Morn- 
ing about Sun-rifing would fliift about 
gradually ( and withal increafing in 
Strength) till about Noon we fhould have 
it at E. S. E. which is the true Sea-breeze 
here. Then it would blow a brisk Gale , 
fo that we could fcarce carry our Top fails 
double rift : and it would continue thus 
till 3 in the Afternoon, when it would 
decreafe again. The Weather was fair all 
the while, not a Cloud to be feen ; but 
very hazy , efpecially nigh the Horizon. 
We founded feveral times this 20th day, 
and at firtf had no Ground : but had aher- 
wards from
