Very happily for them, they were no sooner on shore than they discovered a fine rivulet at a small distance, where, having comfortably quenched their thirst, and filled all their casks with water, they about noon continued their course for Batavia.
On the 29th, about midnight, in the second watch, they discovered an island, which they left on their starboard.

About noon they found themselves in the height of 6 degrees 48 minutes.

About three in the afternoon they passed between two islands, the westernmost of which appeared full of cocoa trees.

In the evening they were about a mile from the south point of Java, and in the second watch exactly between Java and the Isle of Princes.

The 30th, in the morning, they found themselves on the coast of the last-mentioned island, not being able to make above two miles that day.
