From this flation, a low point of land made its appearance i 77 g. 
beyond Two-headed Point, bearing South, 69° Weft; and, t , 
without it, other land that had the appearance of an illand, 
bore South, 59 0 Weft. 
At noon, on the 13th, being in latitude 56° 49", Cape St. Saturday 13: 
Barnabas bore North, 52 0 Eaft; Two-headed Point North, 
14 0 Weft, feven or eight miles diftant; and the coaft of the 
continent extended as far as South, 72°! Weft; and the land 
feen the preceding evening, and fuppofed to be an illand, 
now appeared like two illands. From whatever quarter 
Two-headed Point was viewed, it had the appearance of 
being an illand; or elfe it is a peninfula, on each fide of 
which the fhore forms a bay. The wind ftill continued 
Welierly, a gentle breeze; the weather rather dull and 
cloudy, and the air fharp and dry. 
We were well up with the Southernmoft land next morn- Sunday 14. 
ing, and found it to be an illand, which was named 'Trinity 
IJland . Its greateft extent is fix leagues in the direction of 
Eaft and Weft. Each end is elevated naked land, and in 
the middle it is low; fo that, at a diftance, from fome points 
of view, it aliiimes the appearance of two illands. It lies in 
the latitude of 56° 36", and in the longitude of 205°; and be¬ 
tween two and three leagues from the continent; which 
fpace is interfperfed with fmall illands and rocks; but there 
feemed to be good palfage enough, and alfo fafe anchorage. 
At firft we were inclined to think, that this was Beering’s 
Foggy IJland *; but its fituation fo near the main does not 
fuit his chart. 
At eight in the evening, we flood in for the land, till w r e 
were within a league of the above-mentioned fmall illands.,
