7th. Pass within forty miles of Cocus Island. 
8th. Indication of land; a cloud of “boobies” surround the 
ship, lighting on the spars and rigging; we divert ourselves by 
tying clubs to fishing lines, throwing them around their necks, 
and hauling them in. They appeared to enter into the sport 
with as much zeal as ourselves, for upon being released they 
would fly around, and seem to say, “do it again.”
