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

CHAPTER 6
59/125

Soon after we tack'd we close reef'd the Topsails, and in the night were obliged to hand them, but at day light set them again.

At Noon our Latitude by Observation was 46 degrees 42 minutes South, Cape Saunders bearing North 46 degrees West, distant 68 Miles.
Saturday, 3rd.

P.M.Wind and weather as Yesterday.

A.M.quite Moderate, yet the South-West swell continues, which makes me conjecture that there is no land near in that quarter.

At Noon our Latitude was 46 degrees 42 minutes South, being East of Cape Saunders 1 degree 30 minutes.
Sunday, 4th.
