" In the True Briton, Wednesday, the 27th of September, 1826,
when steering R.S.R. a man at the mast bead called out that there
were breakers close to our larboard bow. I immediately hauled
the Wig up &S.& to clear them. In the run of the sea a rock ap-
peared a little above the water, nearly Sat, about 90 feet long, and
40 broad; saw no breakers excepting round the rock, and could
distinctly see the sea working over the rock. We sailed from the
rock 11 miles S.S.E. per compass, and ob. in lat. SS. 17. N. We
then bore up E.B.R. 36 miles,ipd R. by-S. six miles, when Toty
bore per compass &W. e. WM miles.
