The shoal Water that I have been in is owing to an extensive Bank which lies off the low land of Java between passerwang and Madura It lies full 3 Leagues in some places from Java and extends to within 2 of Madura. It is therefore necessary with a large vessel to keep passerwang in the SSW untill well in with the Madura Shore
The Land of Java from passerwang Mountains is exceedingly low so that unless the Weather is clear it cannot be seen when at 4 or 5 Leagues distant. Madura is also rather low than otherwise however there are some rising Grounds so that you can see it in time in the Night.
I observed a small stream to the NW at 2 OClock but I found none afterwards that I can speak of with certainty.
