in lat. 56° 57' 2c" N. I took the following obfer- 
vations to afcertain the time byMr.Dymond’s watch.

The quadrant was truly adjufted, 
and the height of the eye above the 
water about 12 feet. Hence I infer 
that the watch was too fail for ap- 
parent time 3' 53". 
At 13 11 5' the eclipfe of the moon was confiderably 
begun j I eftimated it about 3 digits. 
At I4 h 1 1' I judged the beginning of total dark- 
nefs happened j but clouds rendered it a little un- 
certain 1 4 1 1 o

This mull be confiderably too little. Indeed I am 
of opinion my reckoning is fo, as we have, thele two 
laft days, had a great Iwell from the eaflward, which 
I have not fkill enough in navigation to allow for. 
V- the 301b. By comparing Mr. Dymond’s watch 
with Captain Richards’s, which he fays goes very ex- 
actly, I find that Mr. Dymond’s has gained at the rate 
of 9' i per day j and therefore 3' 38" muft be taken 
o from
