At noon the West End of New Island bore North-West by West, 5 leagues.

Latitude observed 55 degrees 25 minutes South, this Island I named New Island because it is not laid down in any Chart.* (* This island is still so called in the charts.) Tuesday, 24th.

The fore and Middle parts of these 24 Hours Moderate Gales and Cloudy with some Showers of Rain; the Latter, fresh gales with flying Showers.

At 7 p.m.New Island bore North-West by North, and a small Island laying to the Westward of it bore West by North.

Variation per Several Azimuths 21 degrees 0 minutes East, which is much less than we have yet found it upon this Coast; yet I am satisfied with the Goodness of the Observations.
