To Brasil

which proved as we thought last night to be the Island Just without Cape Frio which is calld in some maps the Isle of Frio the wind was fair & we passd it with a pleasant Breeze hoping tomorrow to get into the harbour about noon we saw the hill calld Sugar Loaf which is just by the harbours mouth but it was a long way off yet so there were no hopes of reaching it this night

The shore from Cape Frio to this place has been one uninterruptd beach of the whitest Colour I ever saw which they tell me is a white sand

This Evening wind still continued fair but very little we now saw the Sugar Loaf very plain but could not tonight reach it so shortend sail we had seen for some time a small vessel under the land which seemd to steer into the harbour
