Cape Orford lies in the latitude of 5 degrees 24 minutes south, by my observation; and meridian distance from Cape St.George, forty-four miles west.

The land trends from this cape north-west by west into the bay, and on the other side south-west per compass, which is south-west 9 degrees west, allowing the variation, which is here 9 degrees east.

The land on each side of the cape is more savannah than woodland, and is highest on the north-west side.

The cape itself is a bluff-point, of an indifferent height, with a flat tableland at top.

When we were to the south-west of the cape, it appeared to be a low point shooting out, which you cannot see when abreast of it.
