The Currents that run here create a very breaking & troublesome Sea but we frequently were out of the run of them and had at times Smooth Water.
The Iland Goenong Apy lies off the NE part of Sumbawa it is of little extent but a very remarkable high Mountain. From its appearance I considerd it to be the same as I had seen on Sunday Even'g open with the North part of Rotten Island at WNW but the dutch Maps have it to the NW if so the Land then Mentioned must be another like Island in Streights Sapi. From a supposed distance Goenong Apy lies in Latitude 8°..06′ South the Dutch have it in 8°..10′ South
The North part of Sumbawa is high Mountainous Land and no other like it on the Coast. At the Foot of this Mountain I have been told are many runs of Water which can be got with ease and that Ships sometimes send their Boats on Shore for it.
Saw several Fires in the Mountains and as those we have seen have been generally very high up in the Country the Sea Coast perhaps is not much cultivated
