Captain Cook’s Journal During the First Voyage Round the World

CHAPTER 1
37/112

Genteel breezes and Clear weather.

At 4 p.m.saw the Salvages bearing South; at 6, the Body of the Island bore South 1/2 West, distant about 5 leagues.

Found the Variation of the Compass by an Azimuth to be 17 degrees 50 minutes West.

At 10 the Isles of Salvages bore West by South 1/2 South, distance 2 leagues.

I make those Islands to be in latitude 30 degrees 11 minutes South, and South 16 degrees East, 58 leagues from Funchall, Madeira.
