From the fhip’s place at 6 P. M. run about 68 
min. S. S. E. by the compafs, and then made a low 
long Tandy ifland bearing S. W. about 8 miles on the 
fame fhore, on the South end of which are breakers 
that may be feen 8 or 9 miles j the middle of this 
ifland lies in or near the latitude of 16 0 4 . 2 ' N. from 
thence to Jebbel-Tar the diftance is 128 miles, in a 
diredl S. E. courfe by the compafs. 
Thus fheweth the ifland of Jebbel-Tar, when it 
bears W. by S. dift. about 10 miles ; Tab. V. fig. 5. 
From Jebbel-Tar to Jebbel-Zeker, the courfe is 
by the compafs S. E. by S. diftance about 100 miles : 
the paflage to the Weftward of it I had been

Southward withal. On the evening of the 4th of 
Auguft at fun*fet, the large Jebbel-Zeker bore E. 
by S. diftance about 4 leagues, and the Southernmoft 
one S. S. E. halfE. Having a very fine wind, and 
wanting to be at Mocha very much, I carried a mo- 
derate fail, and fleered from fun-fet till 8 o’clock South 
about 7 miles, from 8. till 10 S. by E. 7 miles, from 
10 till 12 S.S.E. 7 miles, and then bore away, con- 
cluding mylelf well to the Southward of all the 
iflands of Jebbel-Zeker Aloriej and indeed had my 
draught been good, and had 1 met with no current, I 
fbould have been clear of every thing according to
