Bay of Islands round North Cape to Queen Charlotte's Sound (continued) About ten o’clock at night, a breeze sprung up at W.N.W. with which we stood off north; and at noon the next day, the Cavalles bore S.E. by E. distant eight leagues; the entrance of Doubtless Bay S. by W. distant three leagues; and the north west extremity of the land in sight, which we judged to be the main, bore N.W. by W., our latitude by observation was 34° 44’ S. In the evening, we found the variation to be 12° 41’ E. by the azimuth, and 12° 40’ by the amplitude. Voyaging Accounts © Derived from Vols.
