Bounty Logbook Remarks, Jun. 27-29, 1789

Remarks at Coupang from Saturday 27th to Monday 29th June 1789

Sultry Weather.

Some relapses have taken place, others however continue to gather strength, but some with sores in their Legs are troublesome to heal. I still continue very weak.

On the 27th I found the Suns Meridian Altitude of the Center to be 56°27′ from whence by old Tables for the Suns Declination I found the latitude to be 10°12′ South.

The Governors Ill health begins to render his life very precarious. I have nevertheless the greatest attention from Mr. Wanjon.

I have given publick notice of my intentions to hire a Vessel to carry us to Batavia and have had several offers but none under 850 Dollars for simply the Passage, for they state the expence for 7 months, as it will be that before the Vessel can return again on account of the monsoon. In this point of view it is certainly preferable to purchase a Vessel, altho at present none offer under 1200 Rix Dollars.

On Sunday performed Divine Service
