> the 31ft. About 2 hours weighed, and the 
wind being contrary, we tided it all the way from 
that place to Yarmouth road ; where we arrived, 
and came to an anchor, about 20 h. on *> , June 
the 4th. 
We lay in Yarmouth Road until the 7th, when 
we unmoored, and came to an anchor in Cairftown 
harbour on © , the 12th, about 14 hours ; having had 
flrong gales, and thick weather, with drizzling rain 
almoft all the time. 
We lay in this place, and in the road, till n , the 
23d, taking in ballaft and live flock; having for the 
moft part nafty thick, and cold fogs : About 16 hours 
the commodore made the fignal to un-moor, and 
about 1 8 h. we got under way, and flood through 
Hoy-found. At 20 h. Hoy-head bore S. E. by com- 
pafs, difl. about 4 miles. At noon I obferved the fun’s 
meridian altitude to be 54 0 io' f, whence the true 
lat. of the fhip was 59 0 3' 1; the courfe by compafs 
fince 20 h. was W. N. W. at the rate of 4 t. miles 
per hour. Hence the lat. of Hoy-head is 59 0 2' N. 
and if we account its long, weft of Greenwich 3 0 
20'. the long, of the fhip at this time was 4 0 3' W. 
? the 24th. From the run and courfe of the 
fhip, and different bearings therefrom, I deduced 
the latitudes of the following places, and their lon- 
gitudes from the head of Hoy as annexed. 
Skerry lat. 59 0 12' | N. long. o° 56' | W.. 
Stack of Skerjy 59 7 | N. 1 3 W. 
Eaft Barra 59 7 f N. 2 24 f W. 
Weft Barra 59 5 N. 2 40 W.
