Wind Westerly; course South 80 degrees West; distance 15 miles; latitude 37 degrees 52 minutes South, longitude 147 degrees 49 minutes West.
Friday, 8th.

P.M.very strong gales and Squally.

A.M.more moderate; set the Topsails.

At Noon the Observed Latitude was 13 Miles to the North of the Log.

This I take to be owing to the great Sea we have had constantly of Late from the South-West.
