Bashi Channel
The route from Palua Buton to the end of Pitt Strait became known as Pitt's Passage. From the strait, "Pitt" sailed due north, staying well east of Halmahera island and the Philippines. After she reached Batan Island on 25 March, Wilson sailed through the Bashi Channel and headed west. "Pitt" arrived at Whampoa on 15 April 1759.
