As I now am near limits of Tristan de Cunha I determined to see for it as long as it cost me not much time but the Weather is so Cloudy I could only catch Dble Altds. for the Latitude, the best taken of which is in the following Afternoon where I placed them by mistake this Noon is deduced from it. I could now see land a Moderate height 7 leagues.
