A S foon as the ebb tide made in our favour, we weighed, 1778. 
and, with a light breeze, between Weft South Weft, , Jme, _ > 
and South South Weft, plied down the river, till the flood Fridays- 
obliged us to anchor again. At length, about one o’clock, 
next morning, a frefh breeze fprung up at Weft, with which Saturday 6 . 
we got under fail, and, at eight, palled the Barren Iflands, 
and ftretched away for Cape St. Hermogenes. At noon, 
this Cape bore South South Eaft, eight leagues diftant; and 
the paflage between the ifland of that name, and the main 
land, bore South. For this paflage I fleered, intending to 
go through it. But foon after the wind failed us; and we 
had baffling light airs from the Eaftward; fo that I gave 
up my defign of carrying the fliips between the ifland and 
the main.
