$ September the 8th. About 14 h f I fa\v the 
comet again, in a right line with Saturn, and (3 Canis 
minoris; and alfo in a right line with Capella, and 
y Geminorum. Its tail pafled diredtly over e Ori- 
onis and might be traced about as far beyond it, as 
that ftar was from the head of the comet, 
G September the 10th. At 16 h the comet was 
in a right line with Caftor and Procyon ; and about 
5° or 6° below the latter. This was the laft time I 
law it. 
$ September the 20th. Being in latit. 6i° 13' f, 
and Cape Refolution E. b. S. I made the following 
obfervations for determining the longit. of the fhip.

Before I quit this part of the world, I cannot 
help obferving, that I have had abundant reafon, in 
my voyage home through Hudfon’s Straits, and the 
adjacent Seas, to reft fatisfied with having ventured 
my opinion in refpeft to the quick motion, or fwift 
dilfolution, of the ice iflands. For, fince we left the 
Straits, we have not leen one j and though we were 
lefs than what I found it at the time when I made the obfcrva- 
tion, and therefore the longitude of Churchill will in this cafe be 
only 94 0 50' | W. And by male ng a fitnilar corre&ion of 15' to 
Mr. Dymond’s obfervation of the 6th, it will give the longi- 
tude of Churchill 95’ 18' W,
