Men of this fault among the few I have known who are capable of drawing a chart on sketch of a sea (can't read) I have generally, (can't read) almost always (can't read) their (can't read) this error. I have known them lay down the line of a coast they have never seen, (can't read) down (can't read) where they never have (can't read) after all are so fond of their performances as to (can't read) the whole of as sterling under the title of a survey (can't read).These things moved in time beating with bad consequences I cannot (can't read) of bringing the whole of their works into disrepute (can't read) much as to say was it such and such posts or the whole of this place is defective  or the publisher or (can't read) will have it left out because they say it hurts the sale of the works, so that between the one or the other we can hardly tell when we are provided of a good sea chart until we ourselves have provided.
Winds easterly with a high sea from the same quarter, our (can't read) distance (can't read) their (can't read) is 86:30 to 102 miles latitude 9136 to long 231:1710.
Light air and clear were the (can't read) of this 24 hours. In the evening found the variation by several (can't read) to be 0:1210 by the amplitude 0:510 at noon we were by (can't read) in the lat of 9:46 s long 232:7. (can't read) didn't smile since yesterday at noon 78:45 52 miles for these 2 days past we have steered due (can't read) we have by observation made 16 miles southing 6 miles yesterday to 10 today from which it should learn that there is a current sitting to the southward and westward with all as I should (can't read). Lights are easterly except in the morning where we had it at  (cant read) at sunset found the variation to be 0:2 at the same time saw or thought we saw very high land bearing (can't read). In the morning saw the same (can't read) of land in the same quarter which left us no room to doubt but what it was land must be either the island of Timor land or Timor but which of them I cannot yet determine. At the noon we were by observation in the latitude of 10 :10 which was 15 miles to the southward of that given by the Log ! Long (can't read) observation 233:27.
Variable light air clear (can't read) in order to discover the land (can't read) until 4 in the morning at which time the wind came to (can't read) and west with which we stood to the southward until 9 o'clock when winds stood (can't read) having the wind at (can't read) shown (can't read) in the morning we could see the land extend from (can't read) to (can't read) we could see it extend to the (can't read) as far as (can't read) but no further to the eastward than (can't read) we were now well aforward that this was part of the Island of Timor in consequence of which the (can't read) Island we saw must have been Timor Land (can't read) of which (can't read) the
