Having for some time past generally found the Ship by Observation to the Northward of the Log, which is not owing to a Current as I at first imagined, but to a wrong Division of the Log line, being 2 1/2 feet in each Knot--but this is now rectified.

Wind South-West by South; course North 48 degrees West; distance 113 miles; latitude 49 degrees 41 minutes South, longitude 89 degrees 36 minutes West.
Monday, 13th.

The first part of these 24 Hours, moderate breezes and Cloudy; remainder, fresh Gales and cloudy.

P.M saw a great many Albetrosses and other Birds about the Ship; some were all white and about the size of Teal.

Took several Observations of the sun and moon, the result of which gave 90 degrees 13 minutes West Longitude from Greenwich.
The Variation of the Compass by the Mean of several Azimuths 17 degrees East.
