In my drafts it is laid down in 8 degrees 10 minutes.

My true course from Babao, is east 25 degrees north, distance one hundred eighty-three miles.

We sounded several times when near Omba, but had no ground.

On the north-east point of Omba we saw four or five men, and a little further three pretty houses on a low point, but did not go ashore.
At five this afternoon we had a tornado, which yielded much rain, thunder, and lightning; yet we had but little wind.

The 24th in the morning we caught a large shark, which gave all the ship's company a plentiful meal.
The 27th we saw the Burning Island; it lies in latitude 6 degrees 36 minutes south; it is high, and but small; it runs from the sea a little sloping towards the top, which is divided in the middle into two peaks, between which issued out much smoke: I have not seen more from any volcano.
