This mountain seems to have a pretty large _^^base and to rise with a gradual assent to the peak and what makes it more conspicuous is, its being situated near the Sea, and in the middle of _^^and a low flat Country _^^{in its neighbourhood} which afforded a very good asspect — — being cloathed with Wood and Verdure. The shore under the foot of this mountain forms a large Cape which I have named Cape Egmont   it lies SSW1/2W, 27 Leag^s from Albetross point. On the NE side of the Cape lay two small Islands or Rocks near to a very remarkable point on the Main that riseth to a good _^^height in the very form of a Sug^r Loafe: To the Southward of the Cape the land tends away SEBE and ESE and seems to be every where a bold shore. At Noon had variable light airs and clear weather. Latitude Observe'd 39°..32' S^t Cape Egmont bore about NE and we were about 4 Leagues from the Shore in that direction. in this situation had 40 fathoms water
