Japara lies about 8 Leagues from the Devils Clip to the NE and is easily known by Islands that Shelter it from Westerly Winds. It has also a conspicuous Fort (which appeared to me of some Strength) on an eminence that commands the Road.
After a very bad Night of Weather I weighed at day light. High land in the S.S.W which is at the back of Samaran Shows the Situation of that Road.
From Japara to Samaran the land is exceedingly low. The Coast still continues to be very safe by the Soundings.
