Smokey Capi, 63 
from the fliore : the northermoil land then bore N. 13 E. and 
three hills, remarkably large and high, lying contiguous to 
each other, and not far from the beach, N. N. W. As thefe 
hills bore fome refemblance to each other, we called them the 
Three Brothers. They lie in latitude 31 : 40, and may 
be feen fourteen or iixteen leagues. We fleered N. E. by N. 
all night, having from twenty-ieven to fixty-feven fathom, at 
the diftance of between two and fix leagues from the Ihore. 
At day-break, we fleered north, for the northermoil: land in 
fight. At noon we were four leagues from the fhore, and by 
obfervation, in latitude 31 : 18 S., which was fi ft- m miles to 
the fouthward of that given by the log ; our longitude 206 : 
58 W. In the afternoon we flood in for the land, where we 
'faw fmcke in feveral places, till flx in the evening, when, be- 
ing within three or four miles of it, and in twenty-four fathom 
of water, we flood off with a frefh breeze at N. and N. N. W. 
'till midnight, when we had 1 1 8 fathom, at the diftance of 
eight leagues from the land, and then tacked. At three in 
the morning, the wind veered to the weftward, when v/e 
tacked and flood to the northward. At noon, our latitude, 
by obfervation, was 30 : 43 S., and our longitude 206 : 45 
W. At this time we were between three and four leagues 
from the fliore, the northermoil part of which bore from us 
N. 13 W. and a point, or head land, on which we faw fires 
that produced a great quantity of fmoke, bore W. diftant 
four leagues. To this point I gave “the name of Smoke y 
Cape : it is of a confiderable height, and over the pitch of the 
point is a round hillock ; within it are two others, much high- 
er and larger, and within them the land is very low. Our la- 
titude was 30 : 31 S., longitude 206 : 54 W. : this day the 
obferved latitude was only five miles fouth of the log. We 
faw fmoke in feveral parts along the coafl, befides that feen. 
upon Smoky Cape. 
In the afternoon, the wind being at N. E. we flood off and 
on, and at three or four miles diflance from the Ihore had thirty 
fathom water : the wind afterwards coming crofs off land, we 
flood to the northward, having from thirty to twenty-one fa- 
thom, at the diflance of four or five miles from the fliore. 
At five in the morning the wind veered to the north, and 
blew frelh, attended with fqualls : at eight, it began to thun- 
der and rain, and in about an hour it fell calm, which gave us 
an opportunity to found, and we had eighty-fix fathom at be- 
tween four and five leagues from the Ihore : foon after this we 
had a gale from the fouthward, with which we fleered N. by 
W. for the northermoil land in fight. At noon we were about 
four leagues from the fliore, and by obfervation, in latitude 
30 : 22, which was nine miles to the fouthward of our reckon-
