62 COOK’S VOYAGE, 
fathom ; at the diftance of fix leagues we had eighty fathom, 
which is the extent of the foundings ; for at the diftance of 
ten leagues, we had no ground with 150 fathom. 
The wind continuing northerly, till the morning of the 10th, 
we continued to ftand in and off the fhore, with verv little 
change of fituation in other refpedts ; but a gale then fpring- 
ing up at S. W. we made the belt of our way along the fhore 
to the northward. At fun rife, our latitude was 33 ; 2 S. and 
the variation 8° E, At nine in the forenoon, we palled a re- 
markable hill, which flood a little way inland, and fomevvhat 
refembled the crown of a hat : and at noon, our latitude, by 
obfervation, was 32 : 53 S. and our longitude 208° W. We 
were about two leagues diftant from the land, which extended 
from N. 41 E. to S. 41 W., and a fmall round rock, orifland, 
which lay clofe under the land, bore S. 82 W. diftant between 
three and four leagues. At four in the afternoon, we palled, 
at the diftance of about a mile, a low rocky point, which I 
called Point Stephens, on the north fide of which is an 
Inlet, which I called Pout Stephens : this inlet appeared 
to me, from the mall head, to be fheljrered from all winds. It 
lies in latitude 32 : 40, longitude 207 : 51, and at the en r 
trance are three fmall illands, two of which are high ; and on 
the main, near the fhore, are fome high round hills, which at 
a diftance appear like illands. In palling this bay, at the dif- 
tance of two or three miles from the fhore, our foundings were 
from thirty-three, to twenty-feven fathom, from which I con- 
jectured that there mull be a fufticient depth of water within 
it. At a little diftance within land, we faw fmoke in feveral 
places ; and at half an hour pall five, the northermoll land in 
fight bore N. 36 E. and Point Stephens S, W. diftant four 
leagues. Our foundings in the night, were from forty-eight 
to fixty-two fathom, at the diftance of between three and 
four leagues from the fhore, which made in two hillocks. 
This Point I called Ca pe Hawke : it lies in the latitude of 
32 : 14 S., longitude 207 : 30 W. ; and at four o’clock in 
the morning bore W. diftant about eight miles ; at the fame 
time the northermoll land in light bore' N. 6 E. and appeared 
like an illand. At noon, this land bore N. 8 E. the norther- 
jnoft land in fight N. 13 E. and Cape Hawke S. 37 W. Our 
latitude, by obfervation was 32 : 2 S. which was twelve miles 
to the fouthward of that given by the log ; fo that probably 
we had a current fetting that way : by the morning ampli- 
tude and azimuth, the variation was 9 : 10 E. During our 
run along the Ihore, in the afternoon, we faw fmoke in feveral 
places, at a little diftance from the beach, and one upon the 
top of a hill, which was the firft we had feen upon elevated 
ground, lince our arrival upon the coall. At fun fet, we had^ 
twenty-three fathom, at the diftance of a league and an half 
from
