fun-fet; they are very low, but long, and ftretch 
to the northward i I had no foundings, 80 fathom at 
the above diftance. 
From the above iflands I faw no dangers, till I 
was in the latitude of 19 0 24' N. (upon the Ethi- 
opian fhore), when I faw breakers ; and a little to 
the N. W. of them I faw a low fandy ifland, that 
cannot poffibly be feen at a greater diftance than 
6 or 7 miles ; at the fame time 1 faw two high iflands 
to the weft: and northward of them, diftance 8 or 
10 leagues. 
And, upon the eaftern or Arabian fhore, in the 
latitude of 20° 14' N. I faw a low fmall fandy ifland j 
and 3 or 4 miles farther to the northward, an- 
other low fandy ifland, about the fize of the former, 
neither of which can be feen, in clear weather, at a 
greater diftance than 3 leagues. At the fame time, a 
little to the northward and weftward withal, I faw 
breakers very plain from the (hip’s deck ; thofe iflands 
were called (by the pilot I had on board) Marfaha- 
ram ; he at the fame time informed me, that it was very 
dangerous to go to the eaftward of them, it being 
nothing but fhoals and rocks. When you are to the 
northward of thefe iflands and breakers^ you will fee. 
the high land of Goofs, at the diftance of 14 leagues, 
the approaching of which is very dangerous without 
a pilot, as well as all the reft of the coaft quite to 
judda, it being fo incumbered with rocks and (hoals 
and what makes it the more hazardous is, there being 
no foundings till you come at once upon a hard fteep 
fand-bank, ora ledge of rocks; therefore, it will be ab- 
foluteiy neceflary to take a pilot on board, in or about 
20 0 N. latitude, if poflibki but ftiould you not be fo 
fortunate
