22' east.

These last islands were supposed by Captain Marshall to be those which Lord Anson discovered, and named Barbadoes Islands.
31 July 1788 Having now a clear navigation, they prosecuted their voyage without meeting with any thing worthy of notice till the 31st of July, when at six clock in the morning they saw the island of Saypan bearing west by south six leagues distant.

Having light baffling winds, they did not get in with the land till the approach of evening, so that the night was spent in standing off and on.

At day-light the next morning, Captain Marshall sent his boat on shore, with the chief mate and four seamen, to procure some refreshments, and look for anchorage.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the boats returned loaded with cocoa-nuts and cabbage, both, as the men reported, from the same tree, but they could find no place for a vessel to anchor in, the water being very deep close to the land, with a rocky bottom, and so heavy a surf that the boat did not land without great difficulty.
