One sort was yellow, and about the bigness of a man's wrist, about four feet long, having a flat tail about four fingers broad.

The other sort was much smaller and shorter, round, and spotted black and yellow.

This day we sounded several times, and had forty-five fathom, sand.

We did not make the land till noon, and then saw it first from our topmast head; it bore south- east by east about nine leagues distance, and it appeared like a cape or head of land.

The sea breeze this day was not so strong as the day before, and it veered out more, so that we had a fair wind to run in with to the shore, and at sunset anchored in twenty fathom, clean sand, about five leagues from the Bluff point, which was not a cape (as it appeared at a great distance), but the easternmost end of an island about five or six leagues in length, and one in breadth.
