X. A 'Letter to the Rev. Mr. Mafkelyne, 
AJlronomer Royal , F. R. R. accompany- 
ing a 7iew Chart of the Red Sea, with two 
Draughts of the Roads of Mocha and 
Judd a, and fever al Objervations made 
during a Voyage on that Rea, by Capt . 
Charles Newland. 
S I R, 
Read March 12, T Beg leave to lay before you a chart 
1 of the Red Sea, conftrudled from 
materials that 1 became poflefled of, during my refi- 
dence in the Eaft Indias; which chart, upon my 
voyage to Mocha and judda, I experienced to be 
the heft I have ever feen. The only material error 
that I ever difcovered in it, is, that the Abyffinian 
fhore oppoflte Mocha is placed too far to the weft- 
ward by 25 or 30 miles, and that there are feveral 
fmall iflands upon the fame fhore, not taken notice 
of in any other chart; which iflands I have marked 
in the chart I now fend you (See Tab. III.) toge- 
ther with two draughts of the roads of Mocha 
and Judda (Tab. IV.), which, if you think will be 
of any utility, are entirely at your fervice. 
I am, SIR, 
With the utmofl refpedt, 
your mold obedient humble fervant, 
Cha s » Newland.
