In following the Coast of Java to the place a Stranger may make bold on his Soundings & he requires no better mask to know where he is than this Rock called the devils Clip. When round this Rock the Shore lies SSW up to Samaran & is low coverd with Bushes. In land are Two High Hills, One being the high land of Japarra & the other of Taiyo
