We had very good weather, only excessively hot, all the way upon our own coast, till we came to the height of Cape St. Augustino; from whence, keeping further off at sea, we lost sight of land, and steered as if we were bound for the isle Fernando de Noronha, holding our course N.E. by N., and leaving those isles on the east.
A Szent Ágoston fok közelébe érve, északkeleti irányban a nyílt tenger felé tértünk, mintha a Fernando de Noronha felé vennénk az irányt. A part a távolba veszett mögöttünk.
