was to have stay'd here at least one day to have looked into the Country had we met with fresh water convenient or any other refreshment, but as we did not I thought it would be only spending time and looseing so much of a light moon to little purpose and therefore at 12 oClock at night we weigh'd and stood away to the NW having at this time but little wind attended with showers of rain. At 4 oClock the breeze freshend at SBE with fair weather. We continued steering to NNW ½W as the land lay having 10, 12 and 14 fathom at the distance of 3 Leagues from the land. At 10 oClock we hauld off north in order to get without a small low Island which lay about 2 Leagues from the Main it being about high water at the time we pased it great part of it lay under water
