Cape Turnagain

such as we us'd to see  by 11 O'Clock Cape Turnagain was in sight which convincd every body that the land was realy an Island on which we once more turnd our heads to the southward

10. Stood along shore nearer the land than when we passd it before  it made in low hills which seemd pretty well clothd with trees but at the bottom of them was lowish land making in tables, the topps of which were coverd with white sand that through the glass had much the appearance of ripe corn  between these were a few vallies in which were wood & in one of these we saw a few houses. in the Evening the countrey rather mended upon us I suppose  as many fires were seen by which I suppose it to be better inhabited.

11. Calm this morn  2 Canoes came off & sold us a few fish & some of their fishing hooks made upon a peice of wood, which I beleive serves instead of bait in towing as the mother of Pearl does on the Islanders towing hooks 
light breeze  the land did not look to so much advantage as when we passd it in our passage
