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

CHAPTER 8
5/243

The Northermost land in sight bore North by East 1/2 East, and a small Island* (* Gabo Island.) lying close to a point on the Main bore West, distant 2 Leagues.

This point I have named Cape Howe* (* Cape Howe, called after Admiral Earl Howe, is the south-east point of Australia.

The position is almost exact.); it may be known by the Trending of the Coast, which is North on the one Side and South-West on the other.

Latitude 37 degrees 28 minutes South; Longitude 210 degrees 3 minutes West.

It may likewise be known by some round hills upon the main just within it.
