CASCADE POINT. ft 
.of Cascade Point. From this Point the land trends firft 
_ JST. 76 E. and afterwards more to the northward. At the dis- 
tance of eight leagues from Cafcade Point, in the dire&ion of 
E. N. E. and at a little diftance from the lhore, lies a fmall 
low ifland, which bore from us S. by E. at thp diftance of 
about a league and a half. 
At feven in the evening, we brought to, in thirty-three 
fathom, with a fine fasidy bottom, at ten we had fifty fathom, 
and at twelve wore in fixty-five fathom, having driven feveral 
miles N. N. W. after our haying brought to. At two in the 
morning, we had no ground with 14,0 fathom ; by which it 
appears that the foundings extend but a little way from the 
lhore. About this. time it fell calm ; at eight a breeze fprung 
up at S. W, with which we fleered along the lhore, in the di- 
reftion of ,N. E. by E. \ E. at the diftance of about three 
leagues. .-At fix in the evening, being about one league from 
the lhore, we had feventeen fathom ; and at eight, being about 
three leagues from the lhore, we had forty-four : we now 
Ihortenpd fail and brought to, having run ten leagues N. E. by 
E. fincenoon. 
It was calm moft part of the night ; but at ten in the morn- 
mg a light breeze fprung up at S. W. by W. when we made 
( fail again along lhore, N. E. by N. having a large fwell from 
the W. S. W. which had rifen in the night ; at noon, our Ia~ 
. titude, by obfervaticn, was 43 : 4 S. and our longitude from 
Cape Weft 4 : 12 E. We obferved, that the vallies as we 
' -as the mountains were this morning covered with fnow, part 0 
which we fuppofed .to have fallen during the. night, when we 
had rain. At fix in the evening we Ihprtened fail, and at ten 
brought to, at the diftance of about .five leagues from the 
lhore, where we had 1 15 fathom. .At midnight there being 
. little wind, we . made fail, and at eight in the morning we 
Hood to the N.-E clofe upon a wind till noon, when we tack- 
ed, being about three leagues from the land, and, by obfer- 
' vation, in latitude 42 : 8, and,. -longitude -from Cape Weft; 
, 5 : 5 E- ’ ; " 
We continued to Hand weftward till two in the morning, 
when we made a trip to the eaftward, and afterwards ftood weft- 
. ward till noon, when, by our reckoning, we were in the lati- 
tude of 42 : 23, and longitude fiom Cape Weft 3 : 55 E. 
We now tacked and ftood eaftward, with a frefli gale at N. by 
W. till fix in the evening, when the wind Ihifted to the S. 
and S. S. W. with which we fleered N. E. by N. till lix in 
the morning, when we hauled in E. by N. to make the land, 
which we Saw foon afterwards ; at noon, our latitude, by ac- 
. -count was 41 : 37, and our longitude from Cape Weft 5 : 42 E. 
We were now within three or four leagues of the land, but it
